I've got a number of non-technical users that all share a set of project files. It would be ideal to have them using version control, but I think that both subversion and git are too technical for non-technical office staff. Is there any distributed source control software that would work well for normal people? ...
Is there a good external merge tool for tortoisesvn (I don't particularly like the built in Merge tool). I use WinMerge for diffs, but it doesn't work with the three way merge (maybe a better question would be is there a way to force tortoisesvn to merge like tortoisecvs?) [Edit] After trying all of them, for me, the SourceGear is the...
Is there a way to have TortoiseSVN (or any other tool) auto-add any new .cs files I create within a directory to my working copy so I don't have to remember which files I created at the end of the day? ...
If I had 20 directories under trunk/ with lots of files in each and only needed 3 of those directories, would it be possible to do a Subversion checkout with only those 3 directories under trunk? ...
I work for a company whose primary business is not software related. Most documentation for using source control is written with a development team writing for commercial or open source projects in mind. As someone who writes in house software I can say that work is done differently then it would be in a commercial or open source setting...
Can anyone provide some real examples as to how best to keep script files for views, stored procedures and functions in a SVN (or other) repository. Obviously one solution is to have the script files for all the different components in a directory or more somewhere and simply using TortoiseSVN or the like to keep them in SVN, Then whene...
I am currently in the process of restructuring my local Subversion repository by adding some new projects and merging legacy code and data from a couple of older repositories into it. When I have done this in the past I have usually put the legacy code in a dedicated "legacy" folder, as not to "disturb" the new and "well-structured" co...
We are currently evaluating different applications that interface with Visual Studio 2008 (C#) and Subversion to do automated builds of our core libraries. We are hoping to have nightly builds performed and either email the list of changes made to each developer or have the latest versions be pushed to each workstation. What has been y...
I like Subclipse when working within eclipse, but would like to find something better when working on files outside of Eclipse. I'm currently using RapidSVN. Is there anything better? ...
Does anyone know a good Java lib that will hook into SVN so I can extract the data? I want the SVN comments, author, path, etc... Hopefully with this data I can build a better time management tracking system. ...
So I have some files I want to ignore in a subversion repository, but I don't want my ignore patterns for this to be propagated to the repository. In other words, I added some private files in my checkout that I want to keep, but they only exist for me and wouldn't make sense to be ignored for everyone, so if I use the svn:ignore, this ...
I am trying to debate the point that version control is important for either one or two developers. More specifically, I work in a department in which there are typically two PHP developers, using a shared framework. He argues that there is no value added in us having Subversion installed on our development system, whereas I argue th...
Anyone know of a way to use SVK with perforce? The docs seem to imply it used to be possible, but some mailing list messages claim that is no longer the case? ...
How do I create a branch in subversion that is deeper than just the 'branches' directory? I have the standard 'trunk', 'tags' and 'branches' structure and I want to create a branch that is several directories deeper than the 'branches' tag. Using the standard svn move method, it gives me a 'folder not found' error. I also tried copying...
I'd really like to get our host to pull from our Git repository instead of uploading files manually, but it doesn't have Git installed. So is there a way to trick Subversion (which they do have) into checking out a Git repository? I think I already know the answer, namely bug my host to add Git and live with it until they do, but I tho...
Is it possible to see the history of changes to a particular line of code in a Subversion repository? I'd like, for instance, to be able to see when a particular statement was added or when that statement was changed, even if its line number is not the same anymore. ...
We're looking at moving from a check-out/edit/check-in style of version control system to Subversion, and during the evaluation we discovered that when you perform an Update action in TortoiseSVN (and presumably in any Subversion client?), if changes in the repository that need to be applied to files that you've been editing don't cause ...
I'm looking for any tools that can give you code churn metrics (graphs and charts would be even better) for a Subversion repository. One tool I know of is statsvn - a Java tool that creates some HTML reports and some code churn metrics. Statsvn reports the number of lines modified (churned) by user over time, some descriptive stats on ...
I'm working on a .net post-commit hook to feed data into OnTime via their Soap SDK. My hook works on Windows fine, but on our production RHEL4 subversion server, it won't work when called from a shell script. #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/mono $1/hooks/post-commit.exe "$@" When I execute it with parameters from the command line, it works proper...
We have an intranet site backed by SVN, such that the site is a checkout out copy of the repository (working folder used only by IIS). Something on the site has been causing problems today, and I want to know how to find out what was checked out to that working folder in the last 48 hours. Update: If there's an option I need to turn on...
