I have a "docs" folder in a Subversion repository named "project". I've come to the conclusion that it should really be kept under a separate Subversion repository named "project_docs". I'd like to move the "docs" folder (and all of it's revisions) to the "project_docs" repository. Is there any way to do this? ...
Does anyone know how to export only the changed files from two tags using svn? Lets say I have tag 1.0 and then later fix bugs in the trunk. Next I am ready for a new patch release so I tag it 1.1. Now I want to export the changed files between tag 1.0 and 1.1. Is this possible? ...
On my laptop, I use the computer's name when accessing my svn repository (e.g. svn://computername/repository) with tortoise svn. However, when I'm outside of my network, I need to use an Internet addressable name (e.g. svn://computername.dyndns.com/repository). I would like to continue to do it this way, so that when I'm at home my check...
I am trying to automatically backup my SVN Repository. This is in a batch file I wrote: svnadmin hotcopy C:/myRepository G:/myRepositoryBackup --clean-logs It works great the first time. However, each time after that, I get this error: svnadmin: 'G:/myRepositoryBackup' exists and is non-empty How do I have it overwrite my old dat...
Is there a better way to implement code freeze in SVN than asking all developers to not check in any new code? We have CruiseControl running, which automatically deploys the latest build to environment. So if new code comes in, the build that was made available earlier changes to the latest one. I want that the build that is deployed is ...
What is the exact difference between SVN checkout and SVN export? From what I know, export does not include the .svn directory which include metadata, and checkout included that .svn directory. Yet, my colleague had this problem recently that there is a different behaviour for the stuff compiled from sources that is checkout and export...
I am running a SVN server on my Windows Server and want to schedule an automated backup procedure. I will always be the only one working on the repository. Should I bother with hotcopy or can I use a simple Windows backup application to backup the repositories? What about xcopy or robocopy? ...
When moving a file from old.package to new.package I want two things to happen: Update all references to that class (in all files of the project) so that the new package is used svn move old/package/Foo.java new/package/Foo.java I use subversive within Eclipse Ganymede. When I just drag the file from one package to the other, all ref...
Can the sourcecontrol block in CruiseControl.NET target TortoiseSVN? ...
I'm having a problem with svn, where running 'svn up' produces the following error: svn: Unexpected end of svndiff input Ironically, running 'svnadmin verify repository_path' also returns the same error. It happens on existing working copies and brand new working copies too. Anybody had and solved this problem before? We've been usin...
Do you keep tools that are necessary to build your project under version control? If you do, what are your guidelines for which tools to include? I guess noone puts Visual Studio in version control, but how about your unit-test-runner? The Nant/Ant/Maven executable? How about external dependencies? Do you have Boost in version control?...
I'm considering using SVN for my .net projects, and I'd like to know what plugins are available for integrating the source control capabilities directly into the IDE. I already know about : Visual SVN, which seems great but is not free. Is anyone using it? AnkhSVN, which is free but I've heard it's a bit buggy. Is anyone using it? are...
Our I.T. dept doesn't allow connections to the SVN server from outside the physical office. (They're just kind of like that.) I need to work on projects when I'm not at the office. I could just check out the project and wait until I come in to do a check-in. Maybe that would be best. But I like to check in frequently. I'm wondering if t...
Hi, I created a local subversion directory and I'm having problems. I tried checking in my first file with the following command: svn ci TestCommenterParseFilter.java and I got the following error message svn: Commit failed (details follow): svn: Can't create directory '/export/svn/db/transactions/1-1.txn': Permission denied svn: You...
If the only server allowed for a project was a Subversion (svn) server, what would be the best way to use it as a project communication tool? For example, is there a good way that it could be used as a wiki, bug tracker, and/or blogging platform? Note: the server is hosted by Apache, and has the basic html interface. ...
How would I retrieve from the repository all files, along with the folder structure, changed in a range of revisions, say from 1000-1920? ...
Not long ago we were using Microsoft VSS as our version control tool, and used to create branch of our code after the end of every release and deploy that to our clients. Now we have moved to SVN and lately there have been lot of discussion about tags/branches, should we tag/branch our code after development for a particular release? S...
I'd like to have a version control server (preferably SVN) accessible on the internet without having to host my own (linux) server. Setting up a home server ala DynDNS is not really an option. Can you have non-public (maybe single-user) projects on one of the OSS project hosting sites? Or are there alternatives? I had a look at Google ...
I am developing an application for the Mac as a small team (me + another person) effort. We are located in different cities, and have started to see the need for solid source control management. None of us have any experience with this, and both of us are relatively new to Cocoa/Obj-C/Xcode (but do have C knowledge). Does anyone have a...
I just switched two projects over to fogbugz and so far I like it a lot. FB has a few features that just blow trac out of the water. However, I am having trouble getting FB to point back to the revisions from within the FB issues. I have set up the bugid in tortoisesvn and that all works - I can click on a bugid in the GUI and a fog...
