What Subversion (SVN) Server would recommend a newbie get started on the Windows Server OS? I think I'll be using TortoiseSVN on the client and will be doing .NET development mostly. UPDATE: Great advice. I'm picking my answer based on votes. I will try VisualSVN and CollabNet. Please read chyne's answer which I thought was really goo...
I'm sorry if this has already been asked, but I haven't been able to find an answer specific to this situation: For our web application, we have 3 systems: dev, QA, and production. Right now, a third party is maintaining the code, but soon it will be in our hands. We will have separate build environments for each stage. Also, we use ...
Hi, I hope this makes sense and apologies if this has been covered before. The situation: We do regular releases to a production environment. At least once every two weeks, but quite often there can be up to three releases in a week. We have a focussed team of 3xSE's, 2xWD, 3xQA and a Technical Manager/Lead (me). The team fluctuates de...
Is it possible to have multiple repositories for the same project? I am currently using SVN with TortoiseSVN with the repositories on an external hard disk at my home, and well as regards a backup-wise solution, this isn't ideal. So what I have in my mind is making an account with unfuddle and having a second (my home one being the fir...
I'm using subversion 1.5 and have a single file in a branch that I want to merge into another branch. When I do a svn merge http://path/to/file I get a Cannot replace a directory from with error. Does this just mean that subversion can't do this? ...
We have moved our subversion repository to a different server. I have run svn swtich --relocate to change my development workstation repository to the new location. The problem is that it looks like it works as there is no error message reported. But when I check the location of the repository after the command it has not updated. Doe...
svn move allows to move a file while retaining traceability of changes. Now I have the following scenario: svn copy dir1/file1 dir1/file2 modified dir1/file1 and dir1/file2 svn move dir1/file1 to dir2/file1 Subversion tells me it doesn't move the file unless I use the --force option, because there are changes to dir1/file1. Suppose I...

I am trying to do a command line svn update on my windows machine (to use in a batch file), and I want it to emulate what my settings are in the Tortoise SVN GUI.

I have a project into which I'd like to embed the revision number automagically. In this case, it's a multi-file perl script. In the main file, I have a line that looks like this: my $revision = '$Revision: 24 $'; When I make a release, I checkout the project to my release dir. The revision number does change whenever I check-in a ch...

When I'm doing a tortoise svn merge, it includes a bunch of directories, and some files into the modified files, even know there are no actual changes. It changes the property svn:mergeinfo Is there any reason why these properties set on the directory/files are needed? Is there any way to get around not doing these changes to svn:mer...
From the little I understand, svn 1.5 provides much better support for merge operations. So I'm considering upgrading from svn 1.4. The repository sits in a local file (more or less), and I use svn from the command line. What hurdles can I expect and how will svn 1.5 handle the existing repository without the merge data? edit: In parti...
Hi! On the local machine it is no problem to get the revision number of a subversion repository with svnversion. Now I want to get the revision number from my online repository (WebDAV with Apache2). I tried this: svnversion http://nick:[email protected]/svn/test` In a browser it worked as usual (just to ensure there weren't t...

When the WiX installer builds I want its version number to be the current build version of the application. How do I accomplish this? I used c# to code the application. N.B. I am using ccnet to build this project ...

Which folders may I not commit to subversion server? I'm talking about an standard asp.net web application in Visual Studio 2.008. I think the bin folder because it's files are regenerated, is there any other? ...
I wrote a little python program as a personal utility to help me with some refactoring. It's similar to unix replace, except it supports regular expressions and operates on all files in a directory and (optionally) all subdirectories. The problem is I'm not replacing in place. I'm opening files, passing the contents into memory, and t...
I have a subversion repository, but there are some things that I don't want it to mess with. For example, SVN breaks mac resource files because unix doesn't know about the resource fork. However, I still want some form of back-up/version control. I would like to be able to just create a folder within the top level repository folder, an...
