Missing import function SCM in Xcode?

Hello, I've followed this link: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3852986/how-to-set-up-an-scm-in-xcode However when opening the window to import the repository I have only the repository bar and no import features.

Half-ignored files in VCS - is this supported?

I am using Eclipse and Subversion for Java development, and I find myself wishing for a feature in version control systems (one that is not available in SVN, to the best of my knowledge). I would like my project settings files to be half-ignored. To be more precise, I want them to be available in VCS, I want merge to occur when someone ...

SVN: ignoring/removing a versioned item while preserving users' local copy

There is a file, let's call it fileToBeIgnored, that is versioned in SVN and shouldn't be. I understand that svn:ignore only prevents the addition of files to the SVN repository. Already versioned files will keep on getting versioned regardless of matching the pattern. I'm perfectly ok with removing fileToBeIgnored from the SVN reposi...

Is there a hook available when creating a tag in Subversion?

I think the question explains it all, but let me explain what I want to do. I am playing around with the idea of whenever a tag is created in my repo, all the commit messages entered since the previous tag are entered into a wiki page. That way, people do not need access to the subversion server to see what commits were made for each t...

What is the "enterprise" best practice for SVN security?

(Specifically for VisualSVN.) Should you use SVN authentication or Windows integrated authentication? Correct if anything here is wrong, but... The issue with SVN auth is that the administrator basically either has to have the dev come over to type their own password in when their account is created, or they have to create a password ...

Rebase multiple git branches from the current?

I'm working with git locally, so I have many branches at a given time. Collaboratively, the project runs off a single subversion repository. When I need to update my local, the workflow is similar to the following: git checkout master svn update git add . git commit -am "updated from svn" Now I may have several branches that are behin...

Why does merging a range of revisions differ from merging them individually?

Hi, I've been trying to get my head around SVN merging/reintegrating and have read a these articles/books: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/index.html http://blogs.open.collab.net/svn/2008/07/subversion-merg.html I obviously haven't quite got it, as I can't see why including synched revisions in a merge back to trunk (reflective/cyc...

Is there any way "svn unrevert"?

Ack! I just mistakenly ran "svn revert somefile" with the wrong filename pasted in. Now my nicely modified file is gone! I'd like a "svn unrevert" command. AFIK there's no such thing. What is the next best way out of this mess? ...

TortoiseSVN does not recognize changes withing the projectfolder upon trying to commit the solutionfolder

Something is wrong with one of my visual studio projects and tortoisesvn handling the source control. This is how I checked the folder out of the sourcecontrol: Solutionfolder -> .sln file -> .suo file -> project folder If I perform a rightclick on the solutionfolder, I see that this folder is assosiated with SVN. I can click commit, u...

Subversion on a shared development server

I'm thinking about implementing source control at my work. Ideally, I wanted to use Subversion since it seems to be the tool of choice at the moment. However, I seem to have hit a brick wall since it just isn't practical for all our developers to work in local environments. We do web development with Coldfusion and use a shared develo...

How to ignore files or folders in a SVN project

We would like to ignore certain files and folders for the entire project. CVS used to have .cvsignore where you can specify this information and commit this to be part of the CVS. Looks like in SVN you will have to set properties at the folder or file level, which is kind of inconvenient for all developers. Is there a simpler way simil...

How to view who has a file open on Windows fileserver

I was contemplating moving to a version control system at work, but the learning curve may be too much for the many copywriters that open simple html files and editt them on our shared development server. The main issue is that sometimes two people will work on the same file (on our development server) at once and overwrite each other. ...

Using Versions and SVN

Is VisualSVN Server repository compatible with svn repository I would create on linux ?

I'd like to use http://www.visualsvn.com/server/ which installs simply on windows. But I'd like to know if I could copy it if needed on a linux server with apache subversion server installed. How can I be sure that the versions of format are the same ? ...

copying a directory of repositories to another server

Hello, CentOS 5.3 I have a directory called repos. Inside that directory I have repositories and subdirectories of repositories. There are more than 30 repositories in all.

SVN - Restore repository from backup

We have just had a file server fail which contained our SVN repository. We're trying to recover the file system but at the moment, that looks like it isn't going to happen so we're looking at backups. The best full backup that I have available is one week old. My plan is to restore this backup to a new SVN server. Then run through eve...
