Hi, we have a repository with apache2 and mod_svn with paths /trunk/project [1] and /branches/project [2]. A user has access rights to both paths, but not to the root of the repository. When trying to merge from trunk into a working copy of [2] with "svn merge http://server/repo/trunk/project ." I get an error "403 Forbidden" for requ...
A while back I asked link text and I got some great answers. What I would like to know is if there is a way to keep the files under my web applications document root, and when I make a change, commit them back to the repository. From what I understand, in order to work on files, they can't be in the web root. Having to move them out to ...
I had a feature branch of my trunk and was merging changes from my trunk into my branch periodically and everything was working fine. Today I went to merge the branch back down into the trunk and any of the files that were added to my trunk after the creation of my branch were flagged as a "tree conflict". Is there any way to avoid this ...
The aim is to maintain 2 separate repositories that are not strictly mirrored. Both repositories are be subject to update by different developers so svnsynch is out of the question. Hooking the script might not be the right solution either as I would much prefer to run the script at will rather than with every commit. Perhaps a script...
The theory that "disk" is cheap has gotten a bit out of hand lately. There are some powerful aspects of version control that have enabled us to onboard new developers with a few bootstrap files and one simple command to pull the toolchain over. Recently upgrades to the systems have prompted requests for storing built binaries. This ...
I'm working on a Open Source project on SourceForge that uses Subversion. A few days ago I did a git svn clone and started tracking my changes using Git. After a while I tried to dcommit my changes back upstream. But that failed with the following error: Autorisierung schlug fehl: MKACTIVITY von »/svnroot/housebot/!svn/act/b8dbd0ff-f22...
I use to work with Visual Studio + C#, and have been using svn before, but not currently, so I want to put my code again on source's control. Recently i heard about git, and I have been reading the git wiki and this and this, and i have read that there are no gui clients for git like TortoiseSvn, or at least, i haven't found'em. My que...
I have been told that the best SVN client for Microsoft Windows is Tortoise SVN. However, when I install it, adds only items to my shell, i.e. the right-click options when I click on folders. When I try to check out a folder, it tries to create a repository inside the folder I am working on. I would prefer my repository to be outside...
I'm trying to add the output of a Sandcastle compilation into source control, but Sandcastle has issues trying to output directly into a subversion-controlled directory structure. So, what I was trying to do is output into a non-controlled directory and then robocopy into the svn-controlled structure. I'd prefer to use /MIR to remove an...
I had a question regarding the BASE version in svn. I know it is the pristine version of an item from the last time update was run and svn diff and status basically run against this version. When does the BASE get updated? Does it get updated to the HEAD when update is run? Is this always true even if there was a conflict during update? ...
It might sound like a dumb question but I can't for the life of me find the answer to this one. We have a project set up in Redmine, linked to a SVN repository. Everything is working fine, but we recently did a repository relocation and we need to update the Redmine setting for it to point to the new repo. The problem is, the option is...
We are looking to do two things: Set up an offline web test platform, and Implement version control with SVN. The posts I've seen suggest the SVN repository should exist as a separate data store from the test and live platforms, probably on a different server. Can anyone point me to articles/posts on how to properly stage code be...
Yes, I know it was stupid, don't rub it in, I'm freaking out here. I didn't realize svn delete would delete my local copy, I just wanted it out of the repository. Now all my files are gone, and they aren't in the trash bin either. Is there any way I can recover them? I should clarify, these files never made it into the repository. I...
I know you can track a svn repo with git by using git svn init, however that is for if you want to create a brand new repo. My situation is that I currently already have an existing git repo and want to track the trunk of a svn repo by making it a remote branch in my current git repo. Any suggestions? UPDATE: After searching last nig...
More specifically, I'm looking for how to count the number of lines in all files within a directory recursively through all directories. I can simply repeat on each the two different versions of the project to get a comparison figure. Alternatively, since subversion has a fairly robust diff functionality, is it possible to mutate a dif...
So developer X and Y did checkout from svn repo with revision no as 2. Dev Y makes changes and does a commit. Dev X makes change and go to make a commit. Now I want to enforce that he shouldn't be able to commit if his repo is not the latest? How do I do this? How do i stop user from commiting to a repo without doing svn update and th...
Are there any good techniques to help us know which branch (or trunk) our working copy is from? We recently converted to Subversion and we're using release branches. I had two developers commit changes to the release branch that should have been committed to the trunk. We're using CI (TeamCity), so I recognized the problem right away and...
We're moving over to using Subversion (Windows platform, TortoiseSVN as the client) as our version control system. With tools we've used previously, it's been possible to set up a 'reference directory' or folder on the network which stores the latest revision of everything that's been checked in, so that people can easily browse the late...
You're using subversion and you accidentally checkin some code before it's ready. For example, I often: a) checkin some code, then b) edit a little, then c) hit up, enter to repeat the previous command which unfortunately was a checkin. Is it possible to retract such an accidental checkin from the server with subversion? ...
How do I list all my subversion repositories on a html page? All repositories are located in a root folder. I want to list them as a link list to get a overview of my repositories and to have easy access to them. ...
