How do I download code using SVN/Tortoise from Google Code?
I just saw a really cool WPF twitter client that I think is developed by the Herding Code podcast guys HerdingCode called Witty. (or at least, I see a lot of those guys using this client).

Subversion Partial Export
I have somewhat interesting development situation. The client and deployment server are inside a firewall without access to the Subversion server. But the developers are outside the firewall and are able to use the Subversion server. Right now the solution I have worked out is to update my local copy of the code and then pull out the mos...
Why is branching and merging easier in Mercurial than in Subversion?
Handling multiple merges onto branches in Subversion or CVS is just one of those things that has to be experienced. It is inordinately easier to keep track of branches and merges in Mercurial (and probably any other distributed system) but I don't know why. Does anyone else know? My question stems from the fact that with Mercurial you c...
Searching subversion history (full text)
Is there a way to perform a full text search of a subversion repository, including all the history? For example, I've written a feature that I used somewhere, but then it wasn't needed, so I svn rm'd the files, but now I need to find it again to use it for something else. The svn log probably says something like "removed unused stuff", ...

How to convince a company to switch their Source Control.
My current place of employment is currently in a transition, new ownership has taken over, things are finally getting standardized and proper guidelines are being enforced. But we are still using VSS, there really isn't any reason for using it other then that's what whats initially setup. We don't use Visual Studio, or any tool really...
Eclipse "Share Project" by hand?
What actually happens to the file system when you do a Subclipse Share Project on an Eclipse project that was externally checked out from Subversion? All the .svn folders are already in place. I get an error when I try to Share Project the right way, and I'd rather not delete and re-checkout the projects from the SVN Repository browse...

I use TortoiseSVN to access file based local repo. In all my commits an author is my windows login name. Is it possible to use different name? I know how to change author after commit but how to change before? Installing apache/svnserver is not an option. ...
Branch / merge management in Subversion 1.5
I've used subversion for a while, and used the svnmerge.py script for a while in my old job to manage merges between branches. I believe Subversion 1.5 is now out, and was supposed to have some branch / merge management system integrated with it. So, can someone give me a quick overview of how to track merges in a branch with Subversio...

"Phantom" directories in an SVN repository
I've somehow managed to get an SVN repository into a bad state. I've moved a directory and now I can't commit it in its new location.

What is a good repository layout for releases and projects in Subversion?
We have the standard Subversion trunk/branches/tags layout. We have several branches for medium- and long-term projects, but none so far for a release. This is approaching fast. Should we: Mix release branches and project branches together? Create a releases folder? If so, is there a better name than releases? Create a projects folder...
How do I export (and then import) a Subversion repo?
I'm just about wrapped up on a project where I was using a commercial SVN provider to store the source code. The web host the customer ultimately picked includes a repository as part of the hosting package, so, now that the project is over, I'd like to relocate the repository to their web host and discontinue the commercial account.

Using a wiki as a central development project repository
I have played with the idea of using a wiki (MediaWiki) to centralize all project information for a development project. This was done using extensions that pull information from SVN (using SVNKit) and by linking to Bugzilla to extract work assigned to a developer or work remaining for a release. Examples: <bugzilla type="summary" use...
Best tools for code reviews
It has been well established that code reviews are good, so this question is purely about the mechanics.
