How to check for an existing executable before running it in a post-build event in VS2008?

Hey all, I'm trying to use SubWCRev to get the current revision number of our SVN repository and put it in a file so I can show it in the UI. As I'm working with a Web App, I use the following post build command line: "SubWCRev.exe" "$(SolutionDir)." "$(ProjectDir)Content\js\revnumber.js.tpl" "$(ProjectDir)Content\js\revnumber.js" I...

SVN branches: Delete branch locally, but do not show up as modified

TortoiseSVN svnadmin

Currently im setting up TortoiseSVN and reading through docs etc. The manual often mentions svnadmin. I figured out, that I have to download it seperatly. But the link seems to be old. After some browsing I got here. But I can't find a version 1.6.7, like my TortoiseSVN installation. Also I'm a little bit lost, because of the many files....

Is svnserve not strictly required for a local, single-user repo?

I was reading the Red Bean book and noticed this paragraph: Do not be seduced by the simple idea of having all of your users access a repository directly via file:// URLs. Even if the repository is readily available to everyone via a network share, this is a bad idea. It removes any layers of protection between the user...

how to commit 'commit log' itself in same svn version?

It might sound unnecessary, but let me explain my problem first. Probably then it would make sense. Few artists keep updating images based on clients' change requests. An artist makes changes accordingly and commits with proper 'commit messages'. Just before actual commit, I want to create a text file with image properties like size and...

Anyone use both Tortoise Git and Subversion on the same machine?

Anyone install both? Using each for separate projects obviously. Shouldn't be a problem, I'm guessing, but hoping to fish out any gotchas. Furthermore, anyone use Tortoise Git, Subversion and Mercurial on the same machine? Edit: Forgot to mention, this is for Windows 7. ...

TortoiseSVN shows red ! decorator for folder, but no files within it are marked with !

I'm new to SVN. I'm using the latest version (svn 1.6.9, TortoiseSVN 1.6.7.18415). Some folders who a red exclamation point next to them. If I drill down, I find a sub folder with ! as well but no files within that are marked with ! (all are either a green checkmark or no icon (because they are Ignored (like .exe files) . What I've tri...

What's the easiest way to add a comment for a particular Revision in SVN?

I'd like to be able to comment on a particular Revision in SVN (using TortoiseSVN). The only way I can see to add a comment (like Release Version X.y) that would be visible in the Revision Graph of all files is with a Tag but that seems like more of a way to Branch the code (and that's not why I want to label it). Is there a better way...

How (in TortoiseSVN) do I update my Working copy to a past revision without losing any versions?

SVN newbie (although so far I really like it (coming from CVS) Ok, here's my scenario: I had: Version x Then I copied a set of old files over the top of those Checked them in and created a Tag ("OldVersion") I now want to revert back to version X while still preserving "OldVersion") It seems like something like a BackMerge might do...

visual studio 2005 is deleting the .svn folder in the bin\Debug directory - how to prevent this?

For some reason I need to check in a couple of files in the bin\Debug directory. For the past few weeks, I am noticing a strange behaviour from VS2005. Every time I recompile the code, it is deleting the .svn folder in the bin\Debug directory and hence svn is showing "obstructed" error. Even svn clean up doesn't help due to missing .s...

How to rename Java packages without breaking Subversion history?

Hello everyone, The company I'm working for is starting up and they changed their name in the process. So we still use the package name com.oldname because we are afraid of breaking the file change history, or the ancestry links between versions, or whatever we could break (I don't think I use the right terms, but you get the concept). ...

Merge Microsoft Word documents with TortoiseSVN

TortoiseSVN has a nice VBA script that allows to merge Microsoft Word documents using Word builtin change tracking functionality. This way, when I merge changes from a branch into the trunk I can resolve the conflicts in Word documents. However, the feature is not as useful as it could because it doesn't track revision changes; it just ...

Svn import with auto-props & pre-commit hook

My company's svn repo has a lot of MS Word docs in it. We've implemented a policy that all .doc files must have the svn:needs-lock property set to prevent parallel access on files that are hard to merge (we've also done this for xls, ppt, pdf etc.).
