SVN and CVS are two very different systems that aim to address the same basic issue - source control. They both work in distinct ways, so it's probably difficult to deal with them exactly the same. What I'm wondering is, would it be conceivable to develop a programming library or API that exposes the same interface, but under the hood,...
I am working in a project where there are configuration files, one in number for each of the environments where the application would be deployed. When a developer modifies one of these files, the developer should not be allowed to check-in the file individually, but check-in all the files together or at least the developer should be in...
I'd like to commit just a part of a file using TortoiseSVN, is there some way to do that? I'll give an example to make it clearer why I want to do that. I have a file with some defines that are replaced in the build process, something like this: #define SOME_PATH "[SOME_PATH]" This [SOME_PATH] tag is replaced in the build process bu...

I thought I'd get myself a Subversion setup at home for my hobby projects, and I'm trying to do it right, first time (my work's source control control policies or lack of them are, well, not perfect).

I'm evaluating subversion's branch/merge capabilities, and I decided to do a simple test - I branched an existing project, changed a comment in one file, and then did a merge reintegrate via Tortoise. It failed: Command: Reintegrate merge https://oscar/svn/Baxtech/ViM/Branches/Test3 into C:\Inntec\VS2008\Baxtech\ViM Error: Cannot ...

A bit of background first: I am using "base" code from a remote SVN repository, not under my control. The code is not tagged (yet), so I always need to keep up with the trunk. For a number of reasons (the most important being that our local extensions to the code are of a "niche" nature, and intended to solve a specific problem with t...
I've never forked a project before so I'm a little stumped as to how to proceed. I have a project that I use on my own that I release as a BSD licensed project (Project A). At work I want to use that code but with modifications specific to our company (Project B) but I want to be able to still update with features that come from the base...

I am developing a website using CodeIgniter and PHP. Some of my friends suggest I start using Subversion to take care of my organization.
