If I have a PHP application which allows users to make changes to documents, what is the best way to implement revision tracking for each document? I want the storage of each revision to be deltified (i.e. only save the changes that were made) like svn and other SCMs do with code. I know on a very simple level how it works, but when I st...

I created a quickpatch project in Install Shield 2009 Premier. I referenced the previous setup.exe which deployed all 64 bit components. I wanted to replace one dll namely "process.dll" which was in component "process" in the previous .ism file.

In Eclipse it is done using right click, Team, Create Patch. Does anybody know how to do that in IDEA? ...
$svn diff > patchfile creates a nice patchfile. However, using TortoiseSVN under Windows I've set some files as being "ignored-on-commit", that is, it is under version control but doesn't get selected, when i do a commit. TortoiseSVN seemingly handles this via a custom entry in .svn/entries for this file. Note, that it it isn't a norm...
I need to know if the two patches are effectively the same. I have an old patch file and new patch file created with the unix diff command. Just diff'ing the patches reports differences due to the timestamp when the patch was created. Is there a way (with diff?) that can reliably tell me if the two patches are effectively the same? ...

I'm new to Launchpad and Bazaar, and I'm trying to figure out what the best way is to submit bug fixes. I'm using some reasonably popular open-source software that's hosted on Launchpad, but it's not very stable. I've created my own branch of the project to stabilize it and apply just the bug fixes we need without adding other changes fr...

I am installing Visual Studio 2008 on a new machine and I cannot find a list of all the HotFixes that have been released. I am planning on installing SP1 but I remember putting about 5 other patches on there. Does anyone have a list of patches that need to be installed? If not maybe we can start a list. Based on this list I installed SP...
I wonder if there are tools to show *.diff files used in patching related to debian packaging. What I need from the tool is that it could just read the diff file and show the actual files changed with changed rows, like kdiff or meld would do when comparing directly 2 different files. Or maybe I have totally wrong kind of approach to thi...

Is there any way to do this in git? ...
