I am new to SVN and I've poked around looking for an answer on this but I haven't found it yet so here goes: Using TortoiseSVN, I bring up the REPO browser and navigate to the root of the repository where I can view all the projects. Is there any way to navigate to a given project and then inquire whether there exists any working copy ...

With Source Safe, after I add files to Source Control, they are set read-only locally. So then if I go to Explorer, and check the contents, I can quickly see which files didn't get into source control, because they are still read-write. With SVN, the software doesn't mark the local files as read-only after check-in, which is fine, but ...

The working copy of this is an apache virtual host dir so I can happily run this project at any point of development through a browser. I now ...
Locally deleting a file followed by svn update restores the local copy of that file. However this does not seem to apply to folders. Is there any way to make it work for folders as well? EDIT: This is what the console output looks like: C:\svn\Google Project Hosting\xulwin\xulrunnersamples>rmdir /S /Q treeview C:\svn\Google Project Ho...

Hi, I'm wondering if there's any other factors to consider for standard practice of using Subversion. The few I have are: Directory structure of /tags /trunk and /branches All work is done in trunk which does not break functionality Branch when major structural changes are made or when a feature is being added that breaks core functi...

On a couple of projects now, I've used the SVN keywords to retrieve some information about the version of some core files. Something like this (PHP): $revision = '$Revision: 1254 $'; // automatically updated each commit $revision = preg_replace("/[^0-9]/", ""); echo "This file is at revision #" . $revision; It occurred to me however,...

I use and love Subversion and TortoiseSVN. However, there is one feature I sorely miss: I work on a big project whose source files are on an external server. Each time I click "SVN Commit..." from Windows Explorer, TortoiseSVN will search the whole tree for changes, which takes a lot of time. However, many of the changes I am about to c...

I'm sharing documentation with people not programming oriented. We agree we need a documentation repository but they don't like TortoiseSVN as it lacks some features that they consider key issues: Lock of files in such a way that everybody knows is blocked (more like VSS) To see files that are being changed by other people, even though...
Let's say I have a user's object, I deleted a property and all things in the web project that used this property (admin pages that updated the property, data layer etc etc).
