Here's an odd problem I encountered using Subversion: when merging from a development branch to trunk (or back, for that matter) Subversion would mark a lot of files as changed -- while they had no changes. Here's what happens: In my branch I commit 1 modified file In trunk I merge in that commit Lots of other files and directories ar...

From this item: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/730138/whats-best-drupal-deployment-strategy .... I quote: Databases are trickier; cleaning up the dev/staging DB and pushing it to live is easiest for the initial rollout but there are a few wrinkles when doing incremental DB updates if users on the live site are also generating con...

I'm trying to use the msbuild community tasks and in particluar the svn tasks to pull down the latest version of my code.

Hi all Whats the best practice to set up a secure subversion server? We're currently using visualsvn server with active directory implementation and https. Now we want to provide connection from outside the firewall. what's the security risk about that? is there a possibility to prevent brut-force attacks to login? greets Roland ...
Like this question, but without the need to actually query the SVN server. This is a web-based project, so I figure I'll just use the repository as the public view (unless someone can advise me why this is a bad idea). I assume this info is in a file in the .svn folder somewhere, but where, and how do I parse it? I want to do something l...
I was planning to implement a way to extract/update/insert trac's project related data from different web application. Assuming I have direct access to database (eg. MySQL, because maybe SQLite will not work if the external site does not have access to the file system). Is there any API for trac that I can use to manipulate milestone & ...
This is the scenario: I copied my subversion trunk into a tag "A". I then ran 'git svn fetch' from my local repository which found the branch point and added it as the remote branch 'svn/tags/A'. Later I removed tag "A" from subversion, and again ran 'git svn fetch'. I did a 'git branch -rd svn/tags/A' to remove the dangling remote bra...
Is there anyone out there whose company has migrated from a medium to large Subversion repository to Git? If so: What were the pitfalls you had to overcome? How easy was it for your developers to make the switch and learn Git? Is it a good idea for companies to migrate at this point or should they wait for Git to become more mature (e....
I am using PySVN and the work-bench for my svn needs and I previously used to use subclipse. When I update my working copy, neither of these tools told me the reason why someone has committed the last commit. I want it to show along with the new revision number, the comment given for the last commit and by whom. I am quite good with pyt...
We have subversion installed and running with apache server. The apache access log is now half a gig, will deleting it or moving it break SVN? I would assume the access log is purely loggin access to the server but I just want to make sure before I delete or move it. I understand you cannot set a size limit on the access log so whats t...
We have VB6 application in a SVN repository and VB6 has the annoying habit to globally change the character case of same identifiers, thus creating many pseudo-conflicts. Is it possible to make SVN ignore such changes? We also have Java projects, so it must be a per-repository setting. ...
So we recently moved our SVN server from being a root path (svn://sever/) to being a subfolder (svn://server/sub/) to allow multiple repositories on the same server. We have a number of working copies already checked out that we'd like to just keep as-is. Using Tortoise SVN, we ran the Relocate command, and everything seemed to work gr...
We have an svn server here with multiple paths. What I'm looking for and I might not have looked hard enough is a post-commit script that whenever something is checked into a specific path, it does an ssh to another server and runs a bash script. Any ideas on a quick and easy way to do this or a post-commit script already out there? ...
Hi, CAn someone please let me know what is performance of TFS vs SVN over the WAN. I have a scenario where we have multiple teams set up accross geography. Can someone help me decide on what to use? More sepcifically i would like to know about TFS 2008 performance. From reading on internet, i understand that TFS 2005 was really bad on ...
So we're gradually moving all our projects across into SVN, from CVS. One project in particular has two parallel development streams that share a lot of code, and they accomplish this with a neat trick on branch tags. Some files are branched normally as they diverge on the different streams: foo.c 1.18 --- HEAD, VERSION-1...
Hi to all. I am using XCode 3.1.3, and subversion 1.4.4 on a remote machine configured on a LAN. 3 users are connecting to a subversion running svnserve and a single repository. Yesterday we had somo issues on our lan connection and couldn't work on the repository but each one worked on the local copy (so no commits, or updates could...
I'm trying to setup a particular workflow but having trouble figuring out how(or if) rsync will work for this. My setup is on Mac OS X. I have my SVN directory. When I run my deploy script, the files are moved over to my integration Apache server. I perform my modifications to the files, then manually have been copying them back to SVN...
We currently have 2 branches: /repo/branch/current_version /repo/branch/next_version current_version is a branch where all developers currently works. We starting a next version and created next_version branch from some point in current_version, while work on current_version is still continuing. In next_version we do some development...
One of the problem I faced when using branches in GIT was that it was very easy when switching branches to cause visual studio 2005 to cause a complete rebuild of the source because of the time/date being changed when switching branches. My typical layout is this. svn/remote master test When switch between either the test and the maste...
