When I create a branch off a revision of TRUNK, my resulting branch doesn't have any mergeinfo set so as far as I can tell it's impossible to figure out what revision the branch came from later. I have some scripts that are supposed to automatically generate diffs against TRUNK later, but I don't have the revision numbers I need. If I m...
I am using Aptana Studio 2.0.2 with PDT plugin on Ubuntu Linux platform. I want to create a new repository, and for that I selected: "New Repository Location" in SVN Perspective. It asks for the URL of the new location. In what format I need to define the path of the repository on my local machine? ...
We're using Matlab Simulink for model development (and Real-Time Workshop autocoding) within a team of several developers. We currently use Visual Source Safe (yes, I know its terrible) for version control, using locks to prevent conflicting changes. We'd like to migrate our programme to a different version control system (svn, hg or g...
There is an open source project to which I have made modifications. I don't have write access to their SVN server. I would like to version control the code in my customers SVN server (I can't change from SVN as I don't choose what software they run). What is the simplest way to put the code into the customer's SVN repository and still b...
I have tried googling for an way to do this but can't seem to find one so here goes. I have a VisualSVN server set up with my repositories and cruisecontrol setup to poll the server and run the build scripts when ever there is a modification. Since it is only me working on this project (it's my final year project as part of my degree) ...
Hi, Just a quick question I haven't found an answer for by searching... How do I get the current checked out revision number from my SVN-dir? More clearly: I don't want the latest revision number since that can be my own commit, but the revision number of the latest update I made in my local repo. Or, if that is easier, I want to be a...
We had a file OLD_FILE with very long history ~ 100 revisions. Then this file was removed from repository. And new file NEW_FILE with content of OLD_FILE was created. Don't ask me - why file was not just renamed ;) Then NEW_FILE was changed 5 times. And then NEW_FILE was renamed to OLD_FILE using svn. Now if we try to see history for ...
Is there a way to use a VCS (I'm using git) and have it work with merges to the Xcode files? For example, if my co-worker adds a new Group to the project, when I merge in his changes, I get the Group merged in? Or if he adds an attr to a Core Data entity, I get that attr in my Core Data model? ...
I am a intermediate web developer, I am attempting to integrate subversion into my workflow. I have come to the understanding, that it is something important to learn, and can save me from rewrite issue nightmares in the future. My current host is dreamhost I have setup subversion with them, and I have checked out the project(my syntax...
I'm trying to set up SVN to authenticate against an ActiveDirectory. I know this is possible if you set up SVN to be served using Apache, but doing so introduces too much overhead, and SVN runs too slow. From reading the SVN docs, it sounds like it should now be possible (since SASL was integrated into SVN in 1.5) to configure SVN to a...
I had VisualSVN Server running perfectly on a Windows Vista machine, and then now it is to run Windows 7 on that same machine (installed on a new partition). So now all the source code are in the repository on D: drive (it used to be on C:) (Windows 7 will be C:, and the Vista will now become D:) Can we just copy the D:\Repositories o...
I have a SVN server instance set up on my desktop for the purposes of demonstrating the many benefits of SVN/TortoiseSVN. Performance has today degrading significantly however when performing actions such as viewing the logs etc. This isn't ideal for a demonstration, given that a "Show Log" operation now takes approx 5seconds, whereas ...
Hello, I am trying to integrate git into my workflow. I'm starting it by using it to manage working copies of code cloned off of a Subversion repository. I've tried using both git 1.5.1 and 1.6.5. Both of these were built from source. I am using an official Debian package for Subversion. Using both versions of git yields the same error...
I've posted a question regarding cvs2svn crashes (link text). I was suggested to update to cvs2svn v2.3.0 and so I did and it worked. now suddenly cvs2svn crashes again before the end, what can be the problem again? I'm using dump file. ...
I was going through http://stackoverflow.com/questions/263782/what-is-the-best-way-to-make-files-live-using-subversion-on-a-production-server If I run a hook that will checkout all the files updated in trunk to the online servers, .svn folder gets created. Are there any cons to this? OR Do I actually need to use 'export' rather than 'ch...
We run svn 1.6.x on both server and client. I branched, worked for several weeks, downmerged a few times, and then set out to upmerge back. svnmerge.py, as logged below, splits the commits into two sets, and on the second set, encounters a (false?) tree conflict, and then gets a subversion error and implodes (see the bottom of the log). ...
Noob to Subversion, so please bear with me. Is there a way to get the last commit date for a file from the command line? ...
One day I pressed in Eclipse Help -> Check for Updates (and I learnt that I should Never Ever update a software which works fine.) Then in a project that I used with SVN the whole submenu of "Team" and the little icons that showed that some files weren't commited, they all dissapeared. I tried everything: revert from Instalation His...
I want to perform a major codebase reorganization, but I'm unable to proceed unless I can provide a way for trunk fixes to be easily applied to branches that were taken before the reorganization. One approach I was considering was to apply the reorganization to to all of the support branches, but this is potentially destabilising. A pr...
When I run: svn commit -m "some message" myFile.txt in the DOS shell, it gives me an empty line as the result. There's no error message, etc. And the file is not committed. What could be causing this? ...
