We're a distributed team of 5 developers working on rather large integrations project. We currently use SourceSafe (yes I know it sucks but it has just worked until recently and we've used it forever). Our biggest problem has recently become performance. Checking in and out project just takes forever and we're finding ourselves spending ...
Hi all, I want to set up a Subversion server installation on Windows Server 2003 64-bit and I'm considering using VisualSVN Server. Does this work OK in a 64-bit environment? Are there any issues or gotchas I should be aware of before installing the software? Many thanks! ...
I am new to SVN and make heavy use of the externals property. I have a repository located on my PC and the externals properties have a hardcoded 'localhost' in the name, which is now giving me problems. For example: /project1/trunk /shared/trunk project1/trunk depends on the shared folder so has an svn:externals property of svn://lo...
When I merge the trunk into a feature-branch, a delete that occurred on the trunk will not be replicated to my working copy. Why will a delete on trunk not delete the same file on a branch when merging? I'm using subversion 1.5 client and server. I'm assuming that changes to the file in the branch will be skipped when reintegrating th...
Anyone have any thoughts on how/if it is possible to integrate Google Code commits to cause a Google AppEngine deployment of the most recent code? I have a simple Google AppEngine project's source hosted on Google Code and would love if everytime I committed to Subversion, that AppEngine would reflect the latest commit. I don't mind if...
I've seen a number of questions asking about a web SVN repository-browsing tool. However, of the ones I've taken a look at, they either require a specific username/password to be configured, rely on default access to the repository being available, or require a separate user database outside Subversion. In a corporate setting, SVN repo...
I know that it's possible to get SVN to send emails after a commit using hooks, but I was just wondering if there's any way to create a personal "watch list" like MediaWiki (Wikipedia) has, whereby you only get notified if there have been changes to certain files? ...
EDIT: This question duplicates http://stackoverflow.com/questions/110175/how-to-access-the-current-subversion-build-number#111173 (Thanks for the heads up, Charles!) Hi there, This question is similar to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16248/getting-the-subversion-repository-number-into-code The differences being: I would lik...
I have a project that I am building with Netbeans 6.1 and I am using SVN. I deleted some files on the local machine then attempted to commit my changes to th SVN repository. The commit fails with the error message Entry for 'C:\path\to\project\myfile' has no URL Where myfile is the deleted file. Is there some way to tell SVN that ...
Recently developers highlighted that it is bit hard for them to keep track of which document has been updated. And they thus suggested that using SVN to keep track of document changes will be better as they will be able to know if document if being updated when doing checking out of the project. But i also highlighted the several cons ...
So my project has a trunk where we make all development changes to. We also have a branch with slightly modified parameters to accommodate another department. We work in batches, and once we are done with a set of changes to the trunk, switch over to the branch and merge all appropriate revisions. This has been going on a while but I hav...
Hi, I had svnserve configured to look at directory "Foo" for the repository it served. Now I changed the configuration from one repository to multiple repositories, all contained in one directory "Bar". I reconfigured svnserve to look at "Bar", but now my client can't find any repositories. What am I doing wrong? Do I need one service f...
We use ASP.NET / C#. We work locally, test locally, check in our code and binaries through SVN. On our server, we checkout the latest 'build' from SVN directly into our IIS web directory. Is this a good practice, or is there something else we should be doing for rollouts? ...
You have several maintenance branches for existing releases of your software. Some developers are making direct changes in the maintenance branches, and merging periodically into the trunk. Now comes an extensive refactoring in the trunk codeline, scheduled for an upcoming major release. But this makes the maintenance branches fundamenta...
svn:externals can be great for sucking in central libraries or IP into a project, so that they can be kept in one location accessible for all. But if I'm asking people to external tags of common IP (so it doesn't change on them) it opens the possibility of them inadvertently committing changes to the tag. How can I make svn:externals...
Hi All, I've used both SVN and CVS a little bit, but will need to choose one for a new project I will be starting. Can anyone who has used both extensively please offer some pros and cons and which they think is better? Best learning resources would be appreciated too. This will be for a small project, just one or two developers to s...
This one has me scratching my head. I'm running Subversion 1.3.1 (r19032) on Ubuntu. All was well until recently when I tried to run svnadmin verify prior to a dump. This is the error message: svnadmin: Invalid diff stream: insn 0 cannot be decoded I have looked around for an explanation and fix but can't seem to find one. Subve...
I'm using tortoise svn in Windows. How can I branch in SVN and have it branch my svn:external folders as well? ...
I have an Ant script that needs to checkout a directory from Subversion. This works using svnant/svnkit. However, Subversion access is authenticated, and I do not want to store my user password in a file. Can I make svnkit pop up a password dialog? Or even better, make it use the same credential caching that subversive/svnkit inside of...
I want to automate SVN adds using NAnt. I want to add to SVN all new files in a given directory. The NAnt script will successfully execute the add command, however it displays the Tortoise SVN add dialog and this is not acceptable because it will execute on a build server running CruiseControl. The build server is running Windows Server ...
