Arguments to convince to switch from CVS to SVN

Hi, The UNIX department of my company currently uses CVS as source-version control system.

What do the different columns (of letters) mean for the svn merge output?

The output of SVN merge has 4 columns of letters listed before the file name. I understand the meaning of the letters (mostly) but I can't find any information on the meanings of the columns and so only have a vague understanding based on context. Can anyone point me to the documentation on this? Based on context I've been able to infer...

Auto-deployment of subversion files in apache server

Hi, We're a small team and we're running subversion and apache on the same server.

How can an SVN::Error callback identify the context from which it was called?

I've written some fairly extensive Perl modules and scripts using the Perl bindings SVN::Client etc. Since the calls to SVN::Client are all deep in a module, I have overridden the default error handling. So far I have done so by setting $SVN::Error::handler = undef; as described in the docs, but this makes the individual calls a bi...

Tracking SVN changes through multiple merges

At work we use a branching strategy where all changes start off in a development branch, then subsequently make their way through one or more integration branches, and finally end up in a release branch. Occasionally (more often than I'd like) I find myself needing to figure out where a particular change originated (which development br...

TortoiseSVN lists files as modified, but they are identical

I then do a merge (range of revisions) from QA into the Dev working copy.

SVN Delete with wildcard?

I'm migrating a VSS repository to SVN and inadvertently included all of the _vti_cnf, *.scc files in the first check-in. I'd like to remove these from SVN.
