Version control has me stumped

I've read a couple of brief descriptions and ...
Is it OK to delete subversion checkout in TeamCity manually?
I have accidentally checked out the root, instead of project directory using TeamCity. This file is massive (40gb+). I would like to remove this from the disk but I am unsure how in TeamCity to do this OR alternatively if TeamCity will allow me to do a good ole manual delete? The last thing I need is TeamCity dropping exceptions because ...
A few basic version control questions
... which I didn't feel like splitting into several question posts, since I guess, them being basic, most people here will know how to answer. I've been developing for several years now, and I've never had the time to learn about version control. Renaming directories with different version names always seemed enough. Now, I've finally...
Change directory and branch within CVS repository to read-only
We are moving to SVN and need to prevent commits to specific directories/modules within the CVS repository. What is the best way of doing this?

Is it safe to store and version WordprocessingML documents in Subversion?
Basically what the title says: is it safe to store WordprocessingML documents in Subversion and perform conflict resolution on them? Not talking about OpemXML here - I'm wondering about Word's original single XML file format with binary image data, etc. all in a single text XML file. ...
SVN partial merge best practices
I am working on a feature branch and have some changes committed to my feature branch that will affect the other developers. I would like to commit those new changes to the trunk so that nobody is left scrambling to fix the break later; however, I do not want to commit the rest of the feature branch because it is not yet fully functiona...

svn:ignore for subdirectories in subclipse/TortoiseSVN
How do I ignore an entire subtree based on a directory pattern globally, without specifically excluding it for every project? For an example, I would like to exclude the target/ tree in all Maven projects without having to do so individually on a per-project basis. Adding 'target' to Window > Preferences > Team > Ignored Resources works...

Unfortunately, WinMerge displays lots of differencing files inside of the subversion control folders (.svn or _svn). Is it possible to somehow exclude the subversion folders from the comparision? Or is there another (free) diff-tool which is able to d...

SVN: Why does trunk automatically update from my branch?
I just created a branch of my svn repository. I'm going to be working in the branch for another week or so, so I used the "switch" command to switch over to the branch. Everything seemed to work fine, except now if I do an svn update on the trunk, it automatically merges the changes from the branch into the trunk! How I prevent this f...
Transitioned from Subversion to Git, how do I push to heroku gracefully?
I had been using a Subversion for my source control, combined with git ONLY to deploy (push) to heroku. My pattern was: Update local working copy from latest master at remote subversion repository. Then do git commit and git push heroku (Git was set to ignore .svn stuff). This working copy I only used to push to heroku, I had another sub...
