I currently keep an SQL Dump of my db with each commit. However, the whole dump is stored each time, and is taking up a lot of space. Is there any way to set it so that subversion only keeps the last, say, 5 commits of the .sql file? ...

Hey, I'm looking for a SVN client but before everyone jumps in saying Toirtoise, etc, I got a "feature request" that the SVN needs to handle. So here's the catch, I have 3 machines, 2 of them I can install the client and one of them I can't given machine/company policies on it, so I need to be able to zip the content from one of the tw...
On the project I'm working on, we have a file with svn:needs-lock that's frequently in contention. We frequently have to IM each other "let me know when you're done with X". If it's not really urgent, I would prefer not to interrupt my coworker if I don't have to. Is there a util out there that will create a background process which w...
I have a directory on a Linux system that mostly contains symlinks to files on a different filesystem. I'd like to add the directory to a Subversion repository, dereferencing the symlinks in the process (treating them as the files they point to, rather than links). Generally, I'd like to be able to handle any working-copy operations wi...
Up until now I've been a lone wolf on my client projects. Anytime I would make changes to SQL Server: tables updates, stored procs, etc. I would generate the change script and plop it into a directory. When the application was ready for release, I would run the scripts on the live server and be done. Soon I will have another develope...
i see that all I can set to is %repos% and %txn% how can I use those to get to the commit message (in my case, so i can parse out the ticket number so i can see if it exists in the bug database before committing to it) ...
Hi, I have written some python scripts that take advantage of pysvn to analyze a project. I would like to run these on a project that is now in a bazaar repo so I was wondering how I could get a copy of the bazaar repo on my machine and then translate it to a svn standard so pysvn can use it. I found some documentation on going SVN to B...
I merged a branch to another branch and then made some of my own changes. When I went to check in the changes, I got this error: Error: - C:\dev\Backend\Backend_1.1.0.0 In directory C:\dev\Backend\Backend_1.1.0.0\Unit Tests\MessageProcessor.Tests' Error processing command 'committed' in 'C:\dev\Backend\Backend_1.1.0.0\Unit Tests\Messa...

On Monday I work on both branch A and the trunk (branch A is responsible for Revision 11,12,& 15 while trunk is responsible from 13, 14, & 16). Tuesday I created a new branch (branch B) from the trunk (Revision 17). Wednesday I work on both ...

I'm working on a project, and we're gonna need some better tools as it's hard sharing over IRC or email. We have a blog and forum, for public use. The bugs go through the forum first, then we approve them. Once they are approved, it goes in the bug tracker, where we can post patches. Also, SVN is used for easy file sharing for the app, l...
We use branches to do our work and keep trunk pristine for the most part. Before merging my changes from my branch into trunk, I want to make sure that I've got the latest changes from svn/trunk into my local branch. It's taken me a bit to figure it out but here's the workflow I've come up with, and I'd like to know if there's a better w...
I can see where svn:keywords like Id, LastChangedDate and Author are used and replaced in your repository. But I also saw an example of setting a custom property, like license. But I don't understand how you USE a property like license, since the replace feature (as I understand it) doesn't work for custom properties. I guess my questio...

Until then I need to work on another task. What is the correct way to do? I see 2 options: 1) Copy head revision from repository to a new branch...
I'm new to source control in general and am wondering how to handle the following scenario: Say I have an application written for one platform, say Windows Forms in .NET and I've developed it using Subversion (or any SCM software I suppose). Now I'd like to update the application to use WPF and maybe add a few other enhancements. Would...

Hi, I intend to implement subversioning for projects developed on with a handful of people in the same location. I am reviewing the options on whether to use a web based SVN storage or install SVN on a local machine and use it as the main repository.
