I accidentally added and committed a file with the wrong name. No problem. Tortoise has a rename command. The command deleted the original and added the new file. Is this just a short cut for copy, delete, and add? Does this command do anything else behind the scenes? ...
I'd like to add a symlink to an SVN repository via TortoiseSVN. SVN does support symlinks as "special" files, but Windows can't create POSIX symlinks. Is there some magical workaround? Would creating one through, e.g., cygwin do the trick? ...
Hello, I've got a Visual Studio C# project which is under version control (SVN). I've always commited and updated the project without any problems. But a couple of hours ago Visual Studio throws the following error when I try to launch/rebuild the project: Files has invalid value "<<<<<<< .mine". Illegal characters in path. I don...
We had a series of unfortunate events with our VisualSVN server yesterday and we are trying to get back on track today. I have recreated the repository as suggested in this stackoverflow post. We recreated the repository with a co-workers working copy folder (svn-export, svn-import). But now when he tries to update we get an error mes...
I'm reorganising my repository by using TortoiseSVN to do move folders in my working copy, to avoid having to re-download the whole thing if I make the changes in the repo directly. However the "Moving..." popup seems to just stay around for ever in many cases, even when the dir being moved has few files. The files seem to be moved ok, e...
The command I'm using is: TortoiseProc /command:diff /path:myfile.txt It will open up the diff TortoiseSVN window, but it will only compare the working copy with the HEAD copy. What I want is to compare the working copy with the latest version in the Repo that is different. Basically, the same as running the right-click->TortoiseSVN-...
I'm trying to figure out how to download the latest source code. Here's what I've done. On my desktop machine, I created my CodePlex app account, installed Tortoise SVN and successfully uploaded my code to the site. The source code now shows on the CodePlex site. On my laptop, I installed Tortoise SVN. I then created a blank folder an...
Refer to my previous question for context: Link Consider this situation: I upload the source code for my app for the very first time from my Desktop. On my laptop machine, I create a blank folder and do the Checkout. Two days pass and while working on my Desktop I decide to scrap the entire project. I delete everything in the Repo by ...
how I integrate TortoiseSVN with the netbeans6.8 ? ...
I'm working with a program that writes data to fixed-size binary files that I store in a subversion archive. The problem, however, is SVN (both the command-line client and TortiseSVN) thinks that since the size of the file didn't change, the file itself didn't change and it shouldn't commit it. Is there a way to change what diffing met...
HI have 3 WinXP computers which access subversion based on a linux server. I would like to change the author name displayed in the logs on a couple of the computers cause they are 'development pc 3' and the name of an old employee. How do I do this? ...
I have a whole bunch of pairs of files that have subtle differences. We use subversion for a source control, and I like the Merge/Diff utility that comes with TortoiseSVN for windows. And I can use this utility to manually compare/merge two files together. My question is this: How can I programmatically merge two files together the s...
Consider a situation: I've made multiple changes to one versioned file and want to commit the changes. Now I realise that they'd better be committed as two separate commits - so that some changes belong to one changeset and others - to another. How can I do that most efficiently? ...
$svn diff > patchfile creates a nice patchfile. However, using TortoiseSVN under Windows I've set some files as being "ignored-on-commit", that is, it is under version control but doesn't get selected, when i do a commit. TortoiseSVN seemingly handles this via a custom entry in .svn/entries for this file. Note, that it it isn't a norm...
I'm a VSS user learning how to use SVN, and I have selected TortoiseSVN as my platform. Can someone tell me what the term "HEAD Revision" means? ...
I have a project who's structure in Subversion goes as follows, branch tags trunk -- Library ---- Library Code -- Website ---- Website Code The Library folder contains most of the project code and is a class library. The Website folder is a website project which uses the library. The website is what gets deployed to the live site. I ...
Alright, I am working on a small app which recursively deletes empty directories. I have it under source control at Codeplex and I use TortoiseSVN to access it. So, one day, I ran it on the directory where I have all my code. And it ran fine. Empty directories were gone. But then when I tried to Commit the latest changes in any of my Su...
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)....

I'm trying to convert a 32bit TortoiseSVN-plugin (an IBugTraqProvider implementation) we've written so that It will work on TortoiseSVN x64; but I'm struggling with what I need to change to make it work. Are there any specific tools that would help or does anyone know what types of things would need to be changed (references/IBugTraqPro...
