Our organization is making a migration from VSS to SVN. Now, due the lack of branching on VSS there's a folder with the source code from the last production environment code it was used like a queue where the new code was pushed to the top of the queue then it basically depended on a very manual thing and it was all or nothing scenario....
Let's say people have been working on the trunk and on a branch of a Subversion repository. I want to discard any changes on the trunk, and replace it with a copy of the branch. As suggested in another question, I can just move or remove the trunk, and then copy the branch over to the trunk. But then the trunk's history is replaced with...
Hi, today we keep our documents and source code, using subversion, on a server hosted by another company out on the internet. This has worked well so far. However, we have now gotten an office and would like to keep all the documents in-house. Now, are there any general advice for how to set up a system with a NAS-unit running Subversion...
In the current project I am working in, someone decided that binary files be checked in as part of the source tree. The binaries live in a directory beneath the sources themselves: project/src # Here is the location of the source code project/src/more_src # Some more source code lives here project/src/bin # Here a...
I am supporting a number of .Net developers who are using Subversion to version control their work, but we have been running into a number of issues that seem to revolve around the additional files that Visual Studio uses to manage projects, do debuging, etc. Specifically, it seems that these files are causing conflicts due to the fact t...
I've been hired to audit multiple versions of a large application's source code repository. In particular, I want to verify whether certain components of newer versions of the system existed (or in some cases did not exist) in previous versions of the system. The company has been around for over a decade and there are about 60000 revisio...
This problem has been frustrating me for some time... A lot of sites like Sourceforge use SVN or Subversion to manage their code. I have little problem compiling SVN code in C++, but when it comes to Java, my IDE gives me a headache. I've installed Subclipse for SVN support for Eclipse, and it works. I can check out any code into my Wo...
How do your store your company's accumulated internal knowledge? Meeting minutes, software specifications, plans, notes about other organisations, documents for discussion and storage, agendas... We're involved in software development but it's not our primary focus. So our wiki/CMS needs to be able to easily link to files in SVN and Tra...
I am fairly used to using svn for branching and merging, normally this works fine. However one component was worked on in two branches and basically took the component in different directions, so automatic merge won't work and using beyond compare shows the files as mostly different. I have tried to stitch together some of the files, bu...
As we're about to start planning an application that will handle media files (mp3, flv, pdf, images), I'm thinking about how to handle the file storage. The files will change and versions should be tracked to a degree, so integrating SVN in the app comes to mind. Now I wonder, is it too much? I'm quite sure we'll only use a fraction of ...
We manage our web development using SVN. On one project, we deployed the site by Exporting the project and FTPing it to the client sever. This client is hands on and has made changes to the code on the FTP. We're hired to add more functionality to the site now. How can I take the work that's been done on the FTP and merge it into my ...
I'm new to SVN. After working on a branch for a day or so, I attempted to merge changes from the trunk to the branch: svn merge svn://server/trunk The problem is that whenever SVN encounters a conflicting file, it's not able to recognize line by line changes and marks the entire line as conflicted. I experimented with several other S...
I have a number of different projects, about 5, and a number of different developers, around 15, and some of the projects are in subversion and some are not. All of the developers are working on windows-based machines with TortoiseSVN, and the code of the projects is a mish-mash of classic asp, and asp.net. What is the best, as in most r...
I spent some time looking for an efficient way to update my website from a svn repository, but all I can find is to "svn update" directly from the web server, or use a pre/post-commit hook. Since I don't have ssh access to my web server, I can't really use "svn update", so I tested a pre/post-commit hook (svn2web) which was practical, b...

Is there a way to force SVN to be case insensitive? We have an issue where a user commits from a linux environment with files say "file.ext" and "File.ext". Works just fine. The problem, however, is when a user on a MAC OSX or Windows attempts an update/checkout. The two files are considered the same and the action fails in error. ...
I'm storing several projects under the same SVN repository. I've followed the manual and did this: I svnadmin dump c:\repository | svndumpfilter include > myproject.dump My problem is, svndumpfilter chokes with the error "Invalid copy source path" because we moved that particular project from branches back to another folder awhile ago....
What is the best branching strategy to use when you want to do continuous integration? Release Branching - Unstable Trunk: or Feature Branching - Stable Trunk: Does it make sense to use both of these strategies together? As in, you branch for each release but you also branch for large features? Does one of these strategies mesh ...
