How do I not display the dialog on SVN Tortoise Commit?

I have a process that modifies some files and I would like to commit them via command line tortoise SVN without having to click ok. The dialog comes up and my script is forced to wait until I click ok. Here are the arguments I am using: TortoiseProc.exe /command:commit /path:"c:\svn\MyProject" /notempfile /logmsg:"Files Modified 2010-...

Subversion - What are the differences between the SVN Checkout and SVN Update commands?

I understand that the "SVN Checkout" command will do the initial get of file(s) from the Subversion repository and bring them locally to your working directory/copy and that the "SVN Update" command will get changes to file(s) from the repository if changes have been made by others. It seems to me though that an "Update" is just a speci...

Compare folders and export modified files

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me with the following. I work remotely with other software developers on the same project. I use subversion and tortoise to manage my code. I don't think the other developers do the same. This creates problems when we try and share code, because we have to figure out which files were modified so ...

Source Control best practice - periodically updating your working copy from the repository

(Note: This question is not specific to Subversion - I'm just using it here as an example.) I know that the "svn update" command (or whatever the similar command is in other systems) will update your working copy with any changes to files from the repository. I also know that it's a best practice in source control to periodically do a...

managing Sql Server databases version control in large teams

For the last few years I was the only developer that handled the databases we created for our web projects. That meant that I got full control of version management. I can't keep up with doing all the database work anymore and I want to bring some other developers into the cycle. We use Tortoise SVN and store all repositories on a dedic...

Does TortoiseSVN commit has an option of opening exe ?

Hi, I've set up BugId property to my files in the repository. This means that on the commit window, I have a field which the developers type the issue number of the bug and it's shown in the log message of the commit. I wanted to know if there a possibility that once I click on the commit button, before the commit itself, an exe file ...

How do you configure tortoise svn settings for all users in a project?

We use subversion to store all our source code. We use Tortoise SVN client to fetch files from the subversion server. A source of common problem across developers is that the "Global Ignore Pattern" settings aren't the same across all developer machines.

How to "undelete" a deleted folder in Subversion / TortoiseSVN?

We have accidentally deleted the 'tags' folder from our Subversion repository where we only intended to delete one specific tag. What is the easiest way to get the 'tags' folder back? We use TortoiseSVN as our client and I thought that when I go to the repo browser and show log, there will be something like "revert changes from this rev...

Subversion (and TortoiseSVN): Is it possible to create a tag directly from an existing tag?

In my subversion repository, I have the standard /trunk, /branches and /tags folders and a tag, say /tags/tag1. Is it possible to checkout /tags/tag1, make some local changes, and then commit directly as another tag, say /tags/tag2? Can I do this without touching the trunk or any branches? Also, if this is generally possible using subv...

Applying source code changes directly to Root

Ok I am not sure if this has ever been asked since it seems like a complicated/contextual type question. If a development team works with several source branches from one main branch (root/trunk etc), would you always just want to make changes on your particular branch and then merge to (root/trunk etc) when the change has passed QA? I...

Using Tortoise SVN for single user version control

Can I use Tortoise SVN to have better version control for source code on my personal computer? I do not have to share the source code with someone, its just that I am tired of creating a new copy of the file every time I have to make some changes to it and keeping track of all these files. Is there some link that explains the same that...

How to verify Subversion working copy

I have a Subversion working copy with at least one missing file (the local copy got removed while fixing a tree conflict). It's funny because the file is versioned, it appears in the repository, the tree conflict resolution was 100% local (it happened on update and I didn't commit afterwards) and I've run "svn cleanup" several times but ...

TortoiseSVN: how to set up projects on a existing directory structure of source code

I have an old pet project I want to revive (haven't had enough time for it last year - small kid - you know) - so restored old copy of my dev folder from archive, but since I have rebuilt my machine since when - I can't remember what needs to be done now.

Can TortoiseSVN commit window receive parameters?

Hi, I wrote a start-commit hook that will return (when exited), a number. Is it possible that the return value will be automatically inserted to the commit BugId value? or the message body itself? Thanks. ...

Yet another Subversion "Commit failed" MERGE of 'blabla': 200 OK

Hi! I get the infamous "MERGE of 'whatever': 200 OK" whenever I try to commit using a post-commit hook on Windows (running the repository and Trac locally), and I'm going crazy. I've been looking all over for a day now, without finding any solutions. So here's how it's set up and what I've tried so far: Settings: Windows 7 (64-bit) Vi...

Two branch merge

Hi folks: Suppose I got a file amended in two revisions, says 100, 110, in a branch. If I solely merge 110 to trunk, would the modification in 100 be brought over to trunk also? ...

How to use TortoiseMerge with Visual SourceSafe 2005?

I tried by setting up a custom editor for "File Difference" in Tools->Options->Custom Editors with the command line: "tortoiseproc /command:diff /path:%1 /path2:%2". TortoiseMerge launches but it can't find the files to compare. The files to compare should be in a temp folder but they aren't there. SourceSafe isn't making the files avail...

How can I store the new SVN revision number in my source code after I commit? (TortoiseSVN)

Is it possible, via TortoiseSVN, to know the SVN rev number you are about to get prior to a commit so that I can put that rev# into the source code comment section? Perhaps there is a special keyname/variable that I can put into my file that TortoiseSVN will automatically replace with the rev# it's about to commit to? The motivation be...
