Is merging a merge back a problem in subversion?

Here's the situation: On a particular branch, some changes have been merged in from the trunk, and also changes to the branch have been merged back into the trunk. The question I have is this: What, if anything, does the merge management in Subversion do if I try to merge back into the trunk from the branch a revision that was in itself...

How do I ignore updates to files deleted in trunk

Under SVN 1.6.5 we have a repo where the "Trunk" is where we do our main development. We have a "Production" branch that is our live website code.

Using TortoiseGit, can I commit and svn dcommit in one step?

I am using TortoiseGit and am working with an svn repository using git-svn. Sometimes I want to make a one line change and dcommit it to the svn repo immediately (so the CI server will pick up the change). Currently I have to git commit, then dcommit. It's an extra step for something I want to do quickly...it would be nice if I could j...

Subversion usage log analysis

We want to start analyzing usage of our various Subversion repositories, which is something I know is stored in our Apache logs. The problem is that I don't know of any tools out there for doing this. If, for example, I want to get a listing per repository of "There were X1 checkins and Y1 checkouts on day W1, X2 checkouts and Y2 checkin...

How do I merge two svn branches?

I have two svn branches checked out, "b1" and "b2". I would like to merge all of my commits from the "b1" branch onto the "b2" branch. I have tried something like svn merge -r HEAD:HEAD b1 b2 but it does nothing. I am sure I have this command wrong but I can't find good documentation on it. I would like to do this on the client side a...

SVN Ignore all files (not the folders) in a subtree,

Subversion - Branch of a branch

I would like to do exactly as the subject says. It's not possible to merge the current branch to the trunk yet, otherwise, that's what I'd do. The subbranch (or whatever the term is) will be merged with the branch and then the branch back to the trunk. Theoretically, this should work - does anyone see any problems with this? Thanks i...

SVN/Subclipse: Returning from a branch to the trunk

I have a branch which I created from the trunk some time ago. Since I created the branch, I didn't touch the trunk. Now, I want to return from the branch to the trunk. This is a very simple case, since there's not much merging to do. Nothing changed in the trunk. The branch can fully replace the trunk. As I see it, I have two options: ...

Will Changing the Port of SVN Create the Need to Re-Checkout Projects?

Hello, NOTE: I am aware of the SVN relocate switch, I just need to know if it will be necessary as we don't have a "test" svn server setup. We need to change the port on which SVN runs on. It is obvious that the scripts, clients, etc connecting to this new non-standard port will need to update their connections strings. A concern cam...

Subversion and Eclipse - branching, and merging with the trunk

Hi, I use v 3.4.2 of Eclipse and Subversion (using svn 1.4.6 on the server), and I'm having problems understanding the specific options (Depth, Ignore ancestry, etc) and how to merge changes from the trunk into the branch, and back again. Also, when conflicting changes are present, Subversion seems to break - in the compare editor for ...

SVN Checkout Within a Checkout

I seem to remember seeing this somewhere, but for the life of me search is not turning up the results I'm looking for. Here's what I want: I have a project repository. There are libraries in other svn repositories that I'd like to include within my project. When I do an SVN commit on the master project, I'd like all of the files, inc...

Version-controlling version-specific files

Imagine an application with several released versions: V1.0, V1.1, and V1.2. Now imagine one or more associated files that are version-specific, for example a user manual, a functional test suite, or some technical documentation. Ideally these files would be checked into version together with the application itself, so that it's easy to...

After svn2git, can you fetch changes from svn?

So I've converted an SVN repository to a git repository using svn2git, because I assumed there wouldn't be any more work on the svn repository. However, someone else didn't know that we were switching to git (it's a bit complicated, but he was basically just working on one specific file) so he made some commits to SVN. Now I want to get ...
