Hi guys, Just a small SVN "problem" here. I setup my own SVN server http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001093.html Now I made a rep in which all my projects will go. Now, I checked the rep out in a folder called "Projects". Now If I make a project and check it in, that project is revision 1. If I make a second project, and ch...
At work, we have a windows server 2003 with IIS and Subversion installed. We use it to publish and test locally our ASP.NET websites. Every programmer has Tortoise installed on his PC and can update/commit content to the server. Hosting the repositories is working fine. But the files kept in those repositories needs then to be copied to...
So I have a problem. I checked in my frozen gems and rails even though you aren't supposed to do that. I figured it was easy and wouldn't be that big of a deal anyway. Well, later I updated rails and in doing so deleted all the .svn files in the vendor/rails directories. I have heard that what I really should do is just do something ...
I'm looking for an overview over different source code control policies. I only came across the Main-Line policy and would like to better know others before committing to one with the team. Can someone provide a link to an overview or even give me some names of policies so I can launch google on it? ...
I've got a Subversion repository, backed by the berkeley DB. Occasionally it breaks down due to some locks and such not being released, but this morning it was impossible to recover it using the 'svnadmin recover' command. Instead it failed with the following error: svnadmin: Berkeley DB error for filesystem 'db' while opening 'nodes' t...
Will Subclipse 1.4.4 work safely with Subversion 1.3.2? I am confused because its changelog says NOTE: As of Subclipse 1.3.0, the minimum Subversion JavaHL requirement is 1.5.0. ...
My boss asked me to setup a subversion server for him to use so that he can share all his documents across different machines in sync and still be able to access them when there is no internet connection. I have this up for him, but now he's requesting that the 'create date' file attribute be preserved. I explained that since he downlo...
"It is not possible to check out a single file. The finest level of checkouts you can do is directory level." Any ideas on how to get around this issue when using Subversion? We have this folder in subversion where we keep all our images.I just want to check out one file(image) from that.This folder is really big and has ton of other s...
I'm getting confused with the include/exclude jargon and my actual SVN client doesn't seem to have (or I've been unable to find it easily) a simple option to add or remove a certain type of files for version control. Let's say for example I've added the entire Visual Studio folder, with its solutions, projects, debug files, et cétera, bu...
Is there any way to down-format a Subversion repository to avoid messages like this: svn: Expected format '3' of repository; found format '5' This happens when you access repositories from more than one machine, and you aren't able to use a consistent version of Subversion across all of those machines. Worse still, there are multi...
Do you always follow the convention of putting branches, tags and trunk directories at the top level of your Subversion repository? Lately, I have stopped bothering and nothing bad has happened (yet)! It should be possible to move directory trees around if there's ever a need to create them. Am I building up trouble for later? ...
I do mostly Windows development. We use Mantis and Subversion for our development but they aren't integrated together, in fact they are on different servers. I did a little googling about integrating the two together and came across this post. It looked interesting. I was wondering if anyone is doing this or has done this and what yo...
This is probably a really stupid newbie-sounding question to you developer type people, but I'm at a loss :( I've been trying to learn how to use Subversion for keeping the history of my code, but I'm finding it pretty confusing. I read the 'book' that comes with Subversion, but I didn't find it all that helpful. I'm using Windows, and I...
So my favourite web tool, Subtlety, was recently discontinued, which means that I no longer have easy access to the commit logs of various SVN projects that I follow. Are there any other tools that easily pump out an RSS feed of commits for a public SVN repo? ...
I have a repository of files which are unrelated to each other but are common to multiple projects. Each project might only need a subset of these files. For example: /myRepo: /jquery.js /jquery.form.js /jquery.ui.js Project A requires jquery.js and jquery.form.js, whereas Project B requires jquery.js and jquery.ui.js I c...
Suppose I have a set of commits in a repository folder... 123 (250 new files, 137 changed files, 14 deleted files) 122 (150 changed files) 121 (renamed folder) 120 (90 changed files) 119 (115 changed files, 14 deleted files, 12 added files) 118 (113 changed files) 117 (10 changed files) I want to get a working copy that includes all c...
Hi, we are using git-svn to manage branches of an SVN repo. We are facing the following problem: after a number of commits by user X in the branch, user Y would like to use git-svn to merge the changes in branch to trunk. The problem we're seeing is that the commit messages for all the individual merge operations look as if they were mad...
There are several tools that use svn and adds useful external features: Graphical diffing/merging files in Araxis tool Pre-commit changes in JetBrains Team City build server, etc. What new features/tools do you need in subversion most of all (one tool description per post)? ...
My project is currently using a svn repository which gains several hundred new revisions per day. The repository resides on a Win2k3-server and is served through Apache/mod_dav_svn. I now fear that over time the performance will degrade due to too many revisions. Is this fear reasonable? We are already planning to upgrade to 1.5, so h...
I get this error when I do a svn update: Working copy xxxxxxxx locked Please execute "Cleanup" command When I run cleanup, i get Cleanup failed to process the following paths: xxxxxx How do i get out of this loop? ...
