TSVNCache.exe is heating up my Mac

I run windows in a VMWare partition. At times, TSVNCache.exe process starts doing some weird things (Seems like its doing an endless loop of I/O operations).

Subversion - is trunk really the best place for the main development?

In SVN, trunk is the recommended place for the main development and I use this convention for all of my projects. However, this means that trunk is sometimes unstable, or even broken. This happens for instance when I commit something by mistake When the trunk simply has to be broken because of the way SVN works. Canonical example is fi...

Using Mercurial, is there an easy way to diff my working copy with the tip file in the default remote repository

When using mercurial, I'd like to be able to diff the working copy of a file with the tip file in my default remote repository. Is there an easy way to do this? I know I can do an "hg incoming -p" to see the patch sets of changes coming in, but it'd be nice to just directly see the actual changes for a particular file that I'd get if I...

in-house projects: to stable release or not?

Suppose you work at a medium-to-large software company with many independently-developed projects (independent coders) but which rely on each other (dependent code). If it were up to you, would you make sure each project produced stable branches so that the other projects could more reliably use those branches, or would you encourage pr...

How do you setup a shared Working Copy in Subversion
