Hi there, I'm new to this SCM, but since SVN is gaining popularity I was going to give it a try. Things I noticed: SVN is only the backbone of the SCM, no front-end? Why is there several versions of Windows Binaries? Tigris? SlikSVN? VisualSVN? Do I need a Web Server like Apache in order to use SVN? There's dozens of front-end, Torto...
I have an SVN repository and I need the commits to fail if no description is entered. Is this possible to do, preferably server-side? (The users use several different tools for interacting with the repository; although if this were possible client-side in TortoiseSVN, that would alleviate the problem) Google has not been very helpful, c...

Hello! I would like to insert the current Subversion revision number (as reported by svnversion) into my Xcode project. I managed to insert the revision number into the Info.plist in the $PROJECT_DIR, but this is not a good solution, since the file is versioned. I tried to insert the revision into the Info.plist in the build directory, ...
Should I use them as separate releases? Do I check them back into trunk or branches? Is this all in the red book and I've just wasted your time? ...
Hi there. I'm just getting started/familar with Subversion and was wondering which protocol gives the best performance file:// or svn://, when accessing a Subversion repository over the network? If we don't use the svn:// protocol, will be missing out on any features that we couldn't mitgate using the file:// protocol? We're all on ...
I would like a good tool in Visual Studio that integrates with SVN. I used AnkhSvn about a year ago and wasn't pleased. I think TortoiseSVN is great! I would just like to have TortoiseSVN within Visual Studio See also http://stackoverflow.com/questions/48992/best-svn-tools ...
Hi, I have two branches : X and Y. I want to replace a Y's subdirectory (y1) by its equivalent from X (x1). For the time being, I do the following : copy x1 to Y, remove y1, rename (move) x1 to y1 : a) svn copy https://path/to/branches/X/x1 https://path/to/branches/Y/ b) svn delete https://path/to/branches/Y/y1 c) svn move https://pat...
I have been using SVN with Eclipse for ages without problems. But suddenly, one project is not working properly, even though others are fine. When I try to update I get this: In the Eclipse log I see: U nsupported working copy format svn: This client is too old to work with working copy 'C:\Work\xxxxxxxxxxxx\client'; pl...
I got quite a few questions about the same topic here on SO. But could not get an useful answer. And none of these questions talk about the exact problem I have. So I thought adding one more question here is ok. Please do not close this as a duplicate ! Recently our svn server was changed and we did a svn switch. Since the working copy ...
On this page in the Subversion manual, it says that "When you commit a change to the svn:externals property, Subversion will synchronize the checked-out items against the changed externals definition when you next run svn update. The same thing will happen when others update their working copies and receive your changes to the externals ...

When I first setup the SVN structure for my different projects, I decided to place each different project in a separate repository. This has worked well for a while, but I'm staring to think that I would like to merge all of those repositories into one overall "company-wide" repository so when I have employees check out the source code,...
I'm trying to checkout a repository via command line (the 'svn co' command), using the svn+ssh protocol. I need to checkout as a different user than what I currently am. The command svn co svn+ssh://username@server/repo/ would make sense, however when it prompts for a password, it never accepts it. How do I checkout a repository over sv...
Our Development environment has many layers and is complicated to replicate or even backup effectively. Basically the File system (ie. /usr/appdir/webapp...) has other applications serving our web application, those application we update doing svn updates from their repository. The use of the web application itself (as a user) will a...

I've downloaded the svntask for ant from tigris.org, so it is the "official" one. I have a simple task to update my entire project <target name="prepare"> <svn username="user" password="pass"> <update> <fileset dir="."/> </update> </svn> </target> Running this task took about 2 hours. Running a svn update on the comm...
I want to exclude a subdirectories by pattern in subversion because the development tool we are using is generating them. Getting the tool to generate the directories elsewhere is not an option. We don't want to edit the global-ignore property in ~/.subversion/config as it is difficult to maintain consistency with this. The directories...
