Hi all, Periodically we have trouble with SVN when doing updates. Very occasionally when someone adds a new directory doing an update through Tortoise doesn't work. If we do a "Fully Recursive" update using "Update from revision..." option then it picks it up fine. I'm poked around and seen this question which is virtually identical ...
Can anyone recommend a source control tutorial for a test engineer based on TortoiseSVN? It needs to cover how to check stuff out in detail; the rest can be a bit sketchy if necessary. ...
I've got a working copy that I checkout of the trunk and I have made quite a few changes and would prefer to commit back to a branch instead of the trunk (from which is was checked out from). Is this possible and how can I do this using TortoiseSVN? ...
It sometimes happens to me that I forget to include a file in a changeset (i.e. a commit of a number of changed files that belong together, e.g. "Fixes bug #45") I will usually just make a second commit with the same commit message. Is there a clever and simple way to add the "latecomer" to the first commit somehow? Without svn dumping...
When I select ignore on a files under version control it marks the parent directory as changes, then when I then do a commit, it checks in svn:ignore property to the repository, resulting in another revision. Why do I need to commit the svn:ignore property? Is this a TortoiseSVN issue or just the way SVN works? ...
A few years ago, TortoiseSVN 1.4.3 was deployed to our software development team and we are now looking at upgrading the client to the latest 1.6.x version. I had hoped this upgrade would be transparent with the additional features and modifications being client-side. For the most part, this was true except for a very important feature...
I've read a lot about IBugTraqProvider interface and implementing an issue tracker into the commit dialog of TortoiseSVN. IBugTraqProvider is written here. Is there a more simpler way not to do it, building the plug-in and installing it on TortoiseSVN. The Document is not that clear that a developer can create its own plugin. I'm work...
I created a branch from my SVN trunk. In the branch, another developer deleted a directory, but then readded it with the same files. When I merged the changes from the branch back into the trunk (using TortoiseSVN), this directory had a "replace into" message. I unfortunately merged those in (none of these files in the branch had chan...
Here is the scenario: Windows Vista environment. SVN version 1.6.11. I'm on my branch directory. I want to update my branch with a particular change from my trunk. Using command line (using SlikSVN) I enter the following and it returns nothing (returns a blank line and no merge occurs): svn merge -r 11846:11891 http://trunk//AppConstan...
I wanna know, how I can set user name and password for each user in TortoiseSVN and I already did these steps to made repository: - Created a file then created repository in this file. - Changed " svnserve.conf " in conf file. - Then set all user and them passwd in conf file. - I changed authz to access my repository also including in co...
Hi, when I update Adobe Flash/Flex code that is not related to ASP.Net with TortoiseSVN (latest) on a Windows Server 2008, the complete website locks and stop responding. Is it ASP.Net recompiling my code, is it IIS 7 or is it Tortoise locking the file system? How can I prevent or minimize this if I need to do an update when 1000 users...
I'm using TortoiseSVN. I had previously been working with only one subfolder of a repository folder. So I was only updating/commiting on that subfolder and never downloaded the other ones. I would now want to retrieve the whole main folder. So I did a checkout on the parent directory but obviously when I want to update on the parent di...
I'm trying to figure out if this is a known issue with SVN 1.6.x Developer A modifies a file and commits it. Developer B modifies the same file. Tries to commit it and gets told local copy out of date so does an update and then a commit. However the changes from Developer A are lost so the resulting file only contains the version that D...
Got a very strange problem. I've got a working copy which is from a branch. When I commit any changes from this working copy, one single file in the working copy gets committed to the trunk. If I right-click this single file and click Commit the SVN URL displayed points to the /trunk and not the branch. How on earth could this happen?...
I have a VisualSVN server and the client is TortoiseSVN with AnkhSVN plugin for VS 2008. I created a project in the VS and added the solution to the Subversion through right click and committed it. In the repository all the folders are present except bin and obj. Why so? Do I have to manually add them from the project folder? Some pe...
Is this possible? Let me explain what I mean. I have migrated from svn to hg but every once in a while need to use an old svn repository's history to figure out some issues. I don't want to have to install and run VisualSVN (I run on Windows) to do this. I have a backup of the repository via svnadmin dump. I would like to be able to...
At my company we evaluate working with feature branches. We want to use mergeinfo to track merging. I have issues in some of our tested projects where merging a trunk that has only little changes into branch leads to lots of changed files because of the changed mergeinfo. I read that this behaviour improved between version 1.5 and 1...
I am currently using subversion with visual SVN to manage and host my repo across my local subnet. i.e. https://WIN-NU2CCXWBFDF/svn/ How can I configure Visual SVN to host outside of my subnet, i.e. https://www.mysite.com/svn ...
Hi Guys, We have an SVN at http:/XX.XXX.XXX.XXX:1111/svn/AB/ - and the first two folders of the SVN are like http:/XX.XXX.XXX.XXX:1111/svn/AB/abc/filefolder/ The problem is we want to move the entire svn to get rid of /abc/filefolder/ as the entire project sits under /abc/filefolder/ [created long ago and never bothered to change] (que...
