So, I'm already familiar with this: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.advanced.vendorbr.html My question is how do you handle a vendor branch that has both a stable release and an alpha/beta branch that you want to integrate?

Is there a tool to view merged revisions in Subversion?

Are there any tools out there, free or otherwise, that will show, in a graphical fashion, merges from one branch into another?

If such tools exist, which do you prefe...

Commit to multiple modules simultaneously in Subversion

We've got a pretty complicated repository here, and I'm trying to get the most out of our recent switch to Subversion.

svn repository on Windows network share

Is it safe for multiple computers to concurrently access an svn repository stored on a shared filesystem?

Installing updated SVN (1.6) on Mac OS X to integrate with Xcode

I have an svn client installed on Mac OS X. I'm not sure if it came with Mac OS X or when I downloaded Xcode which contains Apple's Developer Tools.

When converting from svn to git using git-svn or svn2git, how can I change the base path of the repository and possibly still keep branches/tags?

I'm moving a project from SVN to git (completely, so no need for git svn's SVN interop features) and I've tried using both git svn and svn2git (nirvdrum's fork on github) and one problem I've got is that our repository layout in SVN was like so: example.com/website/trunk|branches|tags/base/code, and so when I import it into git, the r...

Should you use branches in subversion if only one person is working on a project?
