Ok I am not sure if this has ever been asked since it seems like a complicated/contextual type question. If a development team works with several source branches from one main branch (root/trunk etc), would you always just want to make changes on your particular branch and then merge to (root/trunk etc) when the change has passed QA? I...
Hi, I have a codebase located in Europe and access this codebase from Asia. Codebase is substantially huge, downloading the whole codebase (which is required sometimes) becomes a pain. I wanted to know whether anything like this. I want a solution that "I will have a svn server locally which will sync with the main svn and serve my t...
Hi all, I am in a big trouble with the Ankh plug in for visual studio 2010. I use VS 2010 RC using Ankh 2.1.7756.392.

I've recently got CruiseControl.NET setup to work with my VisualSVN server. It works fine, and the TrunkURL uses the repository url that VisualSVN gave me, which starts with https. I am however confused slightly because every example you see on the CruiseControl.NET website for subversion has the server using svn://. I tried to use th...
Twice in the last couple of weeks I've found a directory in an Eclipse project called "./trunk", which if I expand it in Eclipse contains what looks like a copy of my entire project. If I look at it from Windows Explorer, the directory contains a subdirectory named "ant" and that's it. If I try to deletet this ./trunk directory, I get a ...
How can I change the type of all the files in a repository SVN who have the extension xml from the binary type to text. I do not want to change the type of one file only but all files with extension .xml ...
I've seen a ton of statistics about how git is faster than svn, but most of those statistics are only comparing git's local operations to SVN's equivalent remote operation. Dos anyone have links to hard data comparing git's speed with remote operations to SVN's speed with remote operations? ...
Hi, I am implementing an application that involves some svn functions. I'm gonna write some unit tests for the app, however, how would you suggest I write unit tests for svn commands such as checkout, update, status, etc? Thanks! ...
Can I use Tortoise SVN to have better version control for source code on my personal computer? I do not have to share the source code with someone, its just that I am tired of creating a new copy of the file every time I have to make some changes to it and keeping track of all these files. Is there some link that explains the same that...

I want to be able to check digital files (some several years old, some recent, some not yet created) into that archive and have them preserved, along with their metadata such as ctime, atime and mtime. I want to be able to check these files out of that archive, modify their contents and comm...
It seems whenever I compare via the SVN Repository explorer (most recently after a merge) subclipse will show a few files in the compare window that have no differences whatsoever. Double clicking the file brings up the Java Source Compare window, but Subclipse highlights no sections and shows no differences. A manual inspection of the f...
I read SO nearly everyday and mostly there is a thread about source control. I have a few questions. I am going to use SVN as example. 1) There is a team (small, large dosnt matter). In the morning everyone checks out the code to start working. At noon Person A commits, while person B still works on it. What happens when person B commi...
Hello, I would like a specific string in a specific file to be hidden every time I commit changes to that file. Actually, I have a URL in a file that shouldn't be public in a remote repository. Is there anyway to hide it using pre-commit and post-commit hooks or something similar? Currently I am working with a git repository but it w...
I am adding my code to source control (SVN). I am trying to organize my projects and solutions to fit with the SVN best practise. I obviously don't want to add junk and stuff that changes for every user. What exactly does the MyProject folder contain. This seems to be something that Visual Studio creates and maintains. It seems to contai...
I installed Tortoise Hg(mercurial) on my box. I then installed Tortoise SVN on the same box. When I go to a folder and try the RIGHT MOUSE , I see the menu entries for "Tortoise Hg" and Nothing from "Tortoise SVN". What gives ? What can I do to make both co-exist peacefully ? It will be a nice idea if both the teams work together and c...
Hi , I would like to fill the comment tag @version with Subclipse or Subversion in Eclipse. CVS has done this automatically but Subversion isn't. This would be very helpful. I tried to google "@version" but it seems impossible. Example what CVS did: <?php /* * @author Spankmaster * @version $Id: file.php,v 1.47 2009-09-21 09:28:4...

I am building a Joomla site that is managed by SVN. When extensions are installed via the Joomla admin panel, Joomla will create folders that I want to add to SVN, but these folders are created by the Apache user and I do not have write permission or root access, which prevents SVN from adding '.svn' directories within. Is there any work...
