Trying to set up Apache+svn, but having troubles. http://localhost doesn't work

I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 and I've installed the necessary packages as fast as I can tell. Under System > Administration > Services I see "Webserver (Apache2)" on the list. Googling around suggested that there might be a problem with the /etc/hosts file not having a line reading "127.0.0.1 localhost", but I checked the file and it's ther...

Most common CVS gotchas from a SVN user standpoint

I am myself a subversion user, and overall very happy with it. However, there are times that I need to work on code stored on a CVS repository that is beyond my control (ie, some open source projects). I've heard lots of horror stories of why CVS is really flawed, but nothing very concrete and would like to avoid getting trapped on such ...

How do I update all svn:externals references after a server migration?

I migrated an SVN server today and ran into an issue. I have a repo that has an svn:externals property on a trunk subfolder. This folder has been branched a bunch of times and now this svn:externals reference needs updated on every single branch to refer to the new server. Is there an easy way to update all of these properties? I'm not...

Semi-editable Files (eg config files) and version control - best practices?

So, I killed the build today by checking in a config file. It knows where the server is (think SQL server or the like), and I've been working against the server which runs on my box. Normally, or rather, under other circumstances, we'd run against the central server. The daily build, of course, didn't find 'my' server, hence the break...

How can I do a conditional checkout using properties in svn?

Is there a possibility to checkout from a repo based on the properties of a svn-versioned file? That would be a special kind of sparse checkout. For example to checkout only files with "svn:corelib" == "yes". Or is the only chance just to checkout the whole repo and to delete the unwanted files later? For example with a script that pull...

Tips for using CVS or Subversion as a backup framework for office documents

I've long been using subversion (and before that CVS) to store not only source files but later the LaTeX files for my research and eventually some word files and other materials. I like the fact that I can work with multiple computers and synchronize the latest things from each, while still being able to maintain some hierarchy of my ba...

How good is Subversion at storing lots of binary files?

I'm looking for a place to put a few GB of documents (mostly .doc and .xls). My team already has a Subversion server set up for managing the documents we create, so I'd prefer to use that if possible. How well will Subversion handle all this extra stuff? Most of it is legacy information and will only ever have one version, but it is p...

Tips for collaboratively editing a LaTeX document.

My default setup is to put the tex source in a subversion repository and insert notes to each other as comments in the source when making changes to other people's content. It all feels pretty sub-optimal, especially when there are subversion conflicts where all it tells you is "these two versions of this huge paragraph are in conflict....

Graphical code analysis

I'm using SubVersion in conjunction with Hudson, and I like the feature that shows the how the unit tests, build time, disk usage grow over time. I'm a believer in code metrics to get a first cut appraisal of a code base - especially useful when starting with a new client. Are there any tools that can do the following 1) Starting from D...

How to partially export a git repository?

Hi! My company uses git internally and we publish some of our work as an open source on Google Code which uses svn. (Should it support git, the problem would be probably the same.) The problem is that we publish only part of our repository, so using git-svn as described on http://code.google.com/p/support/wiki/ImportingFromGit will not...
