Can't find an answer to my exact question. We migrated to a different source control system and want to keep a read-only snapshot of the entire repository. No one should be able to commit any changes anywhere. Is there a way to do this? ...
I'm using TortoiseSVN for the version control on my project. I have been working in a branch of my repository without trouble. Then I tried to create a sub-branch of my working branch (i.e. project_repository/branches/original_branch/sub_branch). That created a directory for my sub-branch in the original branch's folder structure. (Oops....
If I have a development area that I deleted files from a certain folder/directory, when I import them back into the repository on the server, is svn supposed to remove the deleted files on the server too? For example, I have directory "home" in home I had index.php. This is all on my development machine. At the moment it matches my sv...
Patch file is made with TopirtiseSVN -> Create Patch... Attempting to import patch into the mercurial repository using hg import patchfile. The problem I'm running into is that there seems to be problems with how hg looks for files referenced in the patch file: unable to find 'gui/gui/RemoteFramework.cpp' for patching 2 out of 2 hunks...
I'm not sure how to do this. I just started using SVN on a real project. I have everything working correctly. But, I'm the only one using it. Now I want to introduce a second person to the process. I downloaded tortoisesvn on my windows machine and did a checkout of the main trunk. I can edit a file and commit my new file. Everyth...
I have a client that must install a web application by himself, is there a way I can send him a package(installer) that installs TortoiseSVN and checkout a working copy of the code? I Guess I can always make an NSIS installer, but maybe, just maybe there is already an application that do that. Thanks! ...
Given a situation where there are three branches, A, B and C, where A is merged to both B and C on a regular basis. From time to time B is merged to C. With Subversion, B apparently must be removed and recreated after every merge to C. This raises groans from colleagues, but would any alternative do any better? It would seem to me th...
I am looking for a recommended link to download a Tortoise equivalent for OpenSUSE with GNOME desktop. ...
I work against a repository that has a large number of projects. Because of this, I only check out single projects in my development environment. Now I've made inter-connected changes in two of these projects. So naturally, they should be in the same commit. Is this possible without checking out the entire SVN repository? Example reposi...
Hey Hey, I've never had the chance to work with a team on a repo, so I'm wondering if there is a proper way to document your changes. For example, maybe add a tag(s) such as: bugfix, update, implement? Just curious on how professionals describe their commits. Hopefully it'll aid me in keeping the project organized... ...
Why is it when I right-click on a folder in Tortoise SVN, click on Properties and then Click 'New...' in the property name dropdown, the svn:externals is missing? I'm new to subversion/tortoise. However I want to evaluate the software. I wanted to try out the externals feature but I'm stumped at the first hurdle. If I enter svn:externa...
Hi, Our application is currently made up of two big entities: C# ASPX files, and RPT report template files. ASPX files are developed by someone, and the RPT files are developed by someone else. Both worlds are not in sync. For example, you could have 10 new versions for the RPT templates, while only one is done on a C# file. Is the...
I've inherited a Subversion repository that has several years worth of feature branches merging to and from trunk. It started as a 1.4 repo, went to 1.5, and is now 1.6. Lotsa history. Unfortunately, it's developed some cruft, and reintegration merges no longer work. I was looking into it, and it appears that this has something to do...
I have the following problem that other people must have encountered. I am working on a code base that runs on two different platforms. Most of the code is shared between the platforms, but some parts of the code are optimized for a particular platform. So, there may be a generic implementation of function foo() in file foo.cpp and an...
My team is currently using feature branches while doing development. For each user story in our sprint, we create a branch and work it in isolation. Hence, according to Martin Fowler, we practice Continuous Building, not Continuous Integration. I am interested in promoting an unstable/testing/stable scheme, similar to that of Debian, ...
Hi, How can I view the comments on the tags in svn? Assume I create a tag: svn cp -m"vhost apache config" file:///var/svn/repos/foo/trunk file:///var/svn/repos/foo/tags/release-0.1 Later, I have tagged many times, and I need to find out what each tag is about. I can use: svn ls --verbose file:///var/svn/repos/foo/tags --------------...

Our inhouse Windows 2003 server hosts our companies svn repos. I'm looking for a secure method, preferably encryption, for the server-side passwords. Right now they're stored in clear text. Is there a svn plugin or method that I can use to achieve this? Thanks ...
