Hi, I have written a script to compress and uncompress binary files of a selected directory (and the sub-directories). I need to activate the script before I commit files to SVN. Is there a way to use the pre-commit hook to execute the script? and if so, how do I give to the he script the root directory (so it would scan the sub-folde...
We are currently considering to move away from CVSNT, very probably to Subversion (because we are already using trac, which is well-prepared for SVN-integration). As we have been making rather extensive use of some less common CVS(NT)-features a couple of questions arose very early on. This is but the first of them. Here's the scenario:...
I am using Subversion and Subclipse for my source control and follow the process of having a main trunk and taking branches for versions. This works well and there are no major problems merging. However when there are significant changes to a file both in the trunk and the branch (unfortunately necessary) I have to manually edit the co...
I checked out a project from SVN server A, but I need to commit my changes back to server B - the repositories on both servers have identical structures. How can I do this with Tortoise SVN? Thanks, Don ...
Reflective/Cyclic Merging This is easiest to explain with an example. Suppose you are working on a feature branch copied from your trunk. During the development process you regularly merge ''all'' new changes from trunk to your branch so that the branch stays in "synch" with the work occurring on trunk. When you eventually merge your...
I'm using a filestystem based (no apache or web server) subversion repository. Since we moved over to subversion our change log on the application has converted to be commit notes in subversion.

I don't get it. I created a folder. Added it using the SVN Add command. Then took one of the files that was already versioned and right mouse moved it. When I got the context menu I selected "SVN Move versioned Items here" Ok fine, it moved. But it deleted and then re-added that file. Now when I right-click that file in its new lo...
What's the best practice for accessing SVN over HTTP in a Windows environment? In Linux, we connect SVN to Apache all the time, so we can address remote repositories over HTTP. Is there a way to connect SVN to IIS, or some equally handy way to let you access an SVN repo on a Windows machine over HTTP? ...

Now, any svn opearation, even an svn status or svn commit, building the list of files...
It just occured to me today as I had setup TortoiseSVN. How to manage and track DB scripts. In TFS, you can just add a script to a changeset. Then add the changeset to whatever task. I've used both TFS and Subversion (Tortoise) and don't recall in the past what the best way was to manage this. Do you create folders by project name a...

I'm using SVN to version a ASP.NET web project that I'm working on. I have recently decided to try versioning published versions of the site. I commit these to the repository along with tagged Release versions of the code in the root of the branch. This is proving useful as I can deploy to my server using SVN. Problem that I'm facing is...

What I'm looking to do is have CI and an automated build for all of my branches in a repository. I'd like each build of these web apps to have it's own project and be placed as a virtual directory (or equivalent) on a branches site. This would be great to be able to create a new branch and have it start the continuous integration and bui...
