I create a new Repository and when I attempt to view the repository or import my files and get the following error: "Could not open the requested SVN filesystem" I can view the repositories via the command lin...
I wrote the following pre-commit script for SVN to validate that a user has submitted the minimum amount of information on a file commit. However, when trying to add/delete a directory, now it is failing. I know why it's failing obviously, I just didn't realize the pre-commit script was called on every action. How do I filter for the act...
We've been using Source Safe for years. Now we use Tortoise SVN. It's quite a problem to not forget to add new files to the repository - Source Safe had integration with Visual Studio but I don't see any for Tortoise SVN and so I often forget to add files and this breaks the build. Is there some industry-wide practice for simplifying ad...
I have SVN hosted and want to convert to Git and put it back into the hosted repository as Git. I am on windows. I have been using Tortoise Git since I've been using Tortoise SVN and love it.

[for those not following along at home, this is the sequel to Rolling My Own Version Control ;)] So i gave in and installed TortoiseSVN (to work with a friend on a project, my personal version control is alive, well, and working as i want it).

We have just started using VisualSVN, TortoiseSVN and ankhSVN plug-in to handle our source control. Initially we were good with the Copy-Modify-Merge style, but we have now found a need to move to the Lock-Modify-Unlock method. But we already have like 15 projects in our repository that follow Copy-Modify-Merge. What do I need to do t...

Is there a way I can set up a client-side script/hook/setting/whatever to have a default message in the TortoiseSVN Commit dialog? (I want to put some text there to remind me to note bug number when I check in code.) ...
We're finding ourselves unable to open our project in Visual Studio because SVN is adding lines like "<<<<<<< .mine" to our .csproj files. This is apparently something SVN inserts when it has trouble merging files, but we're not interested in merging things as two people can never have the same file checked out. How do we set Visual ...
I'm a fairly new user of Ankh and Tortoise. Currently ramping up on a VS2008 application suite that will have multiple .exe files, but with a lot of common code. Currently, we're sharing code between .exe projects by putting source files in a "Shared" folder tree, and using "Add as link" in all the VS2008 projects that need to compile ...

Strange one this, which isn't programming related directly, but I thought it important to ask here instead of ServerFault.com, as it is directly related to TortoiseSVN/Subversion usage. Basically, through normal usage, TortoiseSVN operates absolutely fine with our Subversion repository, but as I'm responsible for our continuous integrat...
