I have a Subversion branch checked out using TortoiseSVN in Windows. I have a file, call it myfile.txt, that I want to rename, say to mynewfile.txt. I want to keep myfile.txt around, however, and just revert it back to a previous revision, say r15. So, I want myfile.txt to have content from r15 and mynewfile.txt to have myfile.txt's c...

I have a Nant script which updates a directory with the latest source code (checked out from the svn repository), then updates Assembly Info and a few other files and does some builds. I want the working copy which includes all changes made (after the build is run) be made into a tag revision (described in SVN help 4.19. Branching / Tag...
I am a sole developer currently backing up my source code to .zip files on an external drive. Is it worthwhile for me to start looking at code repositories? What's the simplest, cheapest option for me? (ie. There is no need for lots of fancy features as the repository is just as a backup and not for sharing with a team). ... Forgot to m...
Every windows svn client I've tried crashes at the end of reverting three bad branch merges. I'd like to get them away from the head of our trunk, ideally erae them forever as the merge should have been a re-integration- not a range of revisons. I can't work out why the clients are crashing at the end of the and, of course everyone is ...
I have a pre-commit hook for SVN which run error-checker program and aborts commit in case of problems. stderr is redirected to the user initiating commit in case of problems. But I would like to send user output from the error-checker program even if no problems were found, so that the user is notified that error-checker ran and found n...
I'm trying to use GIT-SVN but I'm having problems getting things started. I can clone the svn-repository (or use git svn init and then git svn fetch) without any errors but after the command stops processing, the git repository is empty and there's no local master branch. My svn repository is located in here: https://localhost:8443/svn...
The online documentation for hgsubversion sucks, IMO (I hate to say that). I've been following the instructions in the Quick Start. What have I done? I installed Mercurial: D:\repos\experimental>hg --version Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 1.6) I installed TortoiseHg to match the Mercurial version. I downloaded the hgsubversion r...

At work we are using a lot of branches in SVN and there are problems in merging. I heard that a good idea is to use git better merging with git-svn. I try to play with it using msysgit, however its not as easy as it seems. I know I can checkout the whole project using git svn clone -s, however it does not see branches(as normal git bran...
When I add a something to the svn:ignore entry, is that stored in the repository or in my local copy? (In Tortoise, why items addet to svn:ignore appear on my changelist?) ...
I've noticed that there are a few files in my /tmp directory that apparently belong to Subversion: auth/, config, README.txt and servers The interesting thing is that these files belong to www-data which is what Apache runs as, yet my SVN install has nothing to do with Apache, and I'm not even using mod_dav_svn or anything like that......
We are trying to submit a new binary version with in-app purchase into the Apple iphone app store. However, we are getting the following error when trying to do so: "The key CFBundleVersion in the Info.plist file must be a period-separated list of positive integers."

I had checked out a few files from the svn repository on an old machine, and then I moved the repository to a new server. I did not do a repo dump and move, just did a tar and scp and untar of the entire repository. When I try to check in to the new server [with the same hostname and same dir structure] it says: svn: Commit failed (d...

I know, in the time of Maven it is not recommended to store libraries in VCS, but sometimes it makes sense, though. My question is how to best store them - compressed or uncompressed? Uncompressed they are larger, but if they are replaced a couple of times with newer ones, then maybe the stored difference between two uncompressed .jar f...
