I'm thinking of trying a VCS such as subversion, to manage my next project, but I'm not sure if will offer any real benefits for me as a web developer. As I understand it, one of the major benefits of a VCS is that a group of people can work on a project at once. Reading material on the subject seems pretty one sided: "Using a vers...
Is it possible to ignore changes to a file in subversion locally on one client only, without propagating the ignore to the whole repository. The particular problem I'm dealing with is that I've checked out a project and modified a bunch of files including the Makefile, which is already part of the repository. Now the environment I'm wor...
I'm currently working in an environment that still has VSS 2005. I currently do not have the power to change to Subversion, TFS, etc. What are the main gotchas to watch out for with VSS 2005--how can I best use it to try and save my versions and not blow up my source code? For example, is it better to integrate it with Visual Studio...
I've been playing around with git at home and I really like the idea of local commits. Being able to commit smaller changes without spreading my potentially broken code to everyone is nice, as well as being able to revert smaller changes because of the more frequent commits. I've been reading about the git-svn command, but I'm not sure ...
I was thinking about using PHP:SVN for managing svn repositories on a production website. Currently svn commands are built up and executed on the command line which feels like a major security vulnerability. PHP:SVN would have the advantage of not executing any commands directly and allowing me to scrap a lot of code. My question is h...

Hi, Is there any way I can determine from my local copy of an SVN project (something within .svn), which version of the SVN server is running? Thanks, Barry ...
I've read some topics that were suggested by SO ("The question you're asking appears subjective and is likely to be closed.") but couldn't find an answer to what I was looking for. I'm using Joomla in a project. With Joomla, I have about 8 different third party modules, each one with it's own difference version number and Joomla compati...
I would like to make it so that Subversion ignores my NetBeans IDE project configuration directories ("nbproject/") and their contents for all projects all the time. I read in the SVN docs that you can set global ignore patterns in ~/.subversion/config. For example, in my config I have... ### Set global-ignores to a set of whitespace-de...
I work at a small php shop and I recently proposed that we move away from using our nas as a shared code base and start using subversion for source control. I've figured out how to make sure our dev server gets updated with every commit to our development branch... and I know how to merge into trunk and have that update our staging se...
I'm using AnkhSVN with Visual Studio 2008. I'm looking for a way to setup a default template for every commit comment. Is there a way to configure this? ...
i have tried VisualSVN server for the PC, and it seems pretty easy to install and use. The only catch is that my PC with Vista does crash, or can become not so responsive sometimes, so I am thinking of using an SVN server on the Mac instead. is there one on the Mac that is easy to install and is reliable too? ...
I've been reading about how SVN works with Visual Studio. I'm using VS 2008 and worried about possible problems of using SVN with VS 2008. Can anyone share their experience with SVN + VS 2008? Thanks heaps! Note: I realized throwing GIT into the mix kinda diluted the real question I wanted to ask. So, I've restricted the question to ...
Currently I'm using the following SVN clients: TortoiseSVN for Windows and AnkhSVN for Visual Studio 2005+. I heard that GIT has a great level of interoperability with SVN. Would my tools work with a GIT repository? ...
I have SVN running on my main windows development box on my home network. I access the server from various development laptops depending on what I'm doing. I also do this with a Mac OS X development laptop but I apparently have to use the IP Address of the SVN Server. This is causing problems because the IP address of the SVN server ch...
TortoiseSVN works fine on Vista 64 bit for the user account who installed it. When I login as a different user, TortoiseSVN is not there. I tried running file explorer as administrator. It seems that TortoiseSVN only attaches to explorer for the user who installed it. How do I get TortoiseSVN to work for users other than the installe...
I know the thread which command updates files for me at my current version number, not the newest files. I run unsuccessfully at a Google-code project's trunk git svn update and I get fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git Already at toplevel, but .git not found at /opt/local/libexec/git-core/git-svn l...
so I am looking to create an open source type environment to allow our international partners to view and contribute to our code. currently we use SVN for source control and fogbugz for defect tracking. This manages most of our requirements however. with Fogbugz enabling community discussions and wiki's WebSVN doesnt seem to run on I...
I’m looking for a suitable distribution of Subversion for deployment within an enterprise. It needs to run on a Windows server and should scale to support simultaneous users numbering probably not more than a dozen (this is simultaneous connections, not total users) and support repositories of up to maybe a couple of Gb. The main functio...
I usually use Visual Studio Team System 2008 Source Control Explorer with TFS, but I'm considering using Subversion for some small projects, can I make use of the already installed Source Control Explorer without installing a new Subversion client/plugin in my IDE? ...
