I have recently started having problems with TortoiseCVS, or more specifically with plink, the SSH application that comes with it. The IP address it tries to connect to can not be changed and is stuck with the old CVS repository's IP. Downloading plink from it's home site and calling from the command line still has this problem. Tortois...

How do I prevent a developer from committing changes into a particular branch in CVS? Recently, a fellow developer committed code into the main branch, leaving me with a lot of rolling back to do ;-( How can I prevent this? ...
I use Tortoise to interact with CVS for source control. When merging it shows you a diff of the files calling the one on your HD "Yours" and the one in the repository "Mine". Or maybe I have that backwards. As you can see that nomenclature confuses me. Then I also have to try to remember which to merge into. Is there a setting to change...
I work in a mixed source control environment. We are still mostly on CVS, but newer projects are in SVN. However, I am finding it hard to get buy-in for SVN because TortoiseSVN doesn't work like TortoiseCVS. The 3 way merge has a lot of cognitive dissonance and while TortoiseCVS seems to always get the merges right, TortoiseSVN almo...
We're currently using tortoisecvs (1.8.31) to commit/access our cvs repositories. We've recently wanted to support Japanese text in comments, so that viewvc can be used for browsing. However, it doesn't appear that you can set the encoding of comments being sent by Tortoisecvs are properly converted/sent as UTF8. Example of Tortoisecv...

I am using CVS and after a merge, I have hundreds of conflicts. None of the conflicts are an issue (they're unimportant changes as a result of keyword expansion differences on the trunk and branch). I know no changes have been made to the files as this is simply a merge of a vendor branch into the trunk. A few dozen files have been ...

I'm trying to configure my Hudson server to retrieve code from a CVS repository, but so far it's been a pretty frustrating experience. My setup is Hudson 1.310 running as a system service, CVSNT latest version on the server, TortoiseCVS 1.10.10. I'm getting "The credentials supplied to the package were not recognized" all the time, eve...
I have to start using CVS at my new company so that I can play nicely with the developers who are all *nix users. I happen to be a Windows Vista user and unfortunately do not have the ability to switch anytime soon. I am also not exactly a command line guru yet, so any simplified method is ideal for me. I discovered TortoiseCVS today an...
I ran an "Update" command on a folder with TortoiseCVS and one of the file statuses is "P". What does that mean? I see "U" which I'm assuming means "Update" and "M" which I'm assuming means "Merge". I tried to open the help file but I'm just getting 404s, so I think the firewall at my office is blocking the help contents... Here's a scr...
I know that Explorer in Vista and Windows 7 no longer supports extensible column views, but is there any way to get those columns in Windows 7 or Vista. I don't mind using an alternate File Explorer, but not knowing things like what TAG or BRANCH I am on is becoming more and more annoying (having recently switched from XP to Windows 7)....
