Hi, I've been using Subclipse (an SVN plugin for Eclipse), for quite a while, but have become increasingly unhappy with it. I notice that Tortoise SVN is available as an Eclipse plugin and am considering using that instead within Eclipse (I already use it when accessing SVN outside Eclipse). Before I make the switch, does anyone have a...
I am using TortoiseSVN for my Subversion repository held on a USB drive. When I move from one PC to another, is there a way to automatically identify that files are out of date (without using the Check for Modifications menu). It would be nice just to be able to see that the folder on my hard drive did not match that of the repository, r...
Using SVN and/or Tortoise SVN (or any other SVN tool, really), is it possible to view the history for a specific line of a file? Recently I've had several occurrences of coming across a line in a file and wanting to find the log entry associated with its creation (either to determine how old the line of code was, or to get a larger cont...
They are specially annoying when I need to upload to the server a web solution. Is there a way of configuring SVN to create the _svn folders outside my working directory? If not, what is the best way to deal with them when you need to copy only the code? Update: Using "svn export" command is problematic because there are files that are...
Hello, I had a problem with committing changes after merging two branches of my project using TortoiseSVN. Here are details: I did a merge branch to trunk of project which I am working on. Project includes main repository and libraries joint to main repository as svn external (libraries are also branched) as subdirectory of project....
Is there some way to force some files to not be merged automatically (force me to manage the merge) when merging a branch back into the main tree? For example, I have web.config files that have specific paths based on whether I'm in the Dev or Production system. So, when I need to merge my dev branch back into main, I don't want to mod...
Update: So, this turns out to have nothing to do with Tortoise SVN. I use Mozy.com for off-site backups and their new version includes these icon overlays. They can be disabled via the config options...or see here http://forum.pcmech.com/showthread.php?p=1385433. Thanks @OS for the answer. Been using Tortoise SVN for some time on my Vis...
Related to: Suggestions please for a home version control system and Best Subversion clients for Windows Vista (64bit). But different. This is more of a request to learn how to set up subversion at home. As I just completed the process, I will share my answer below. Sweeet. It's free and it's easy. I happen to be using Windows Vista 32...
This is an accident and I don't think there's a solution. But I'm asking anyways. I introduced SVN to our webshop and I set all the dev pc's htdocs as part of the repository. (my first mistake) Now, one of my coworkers are working on a project and didn't commit their code to svn (second mistake). His reasoning was that he's the only on...
So my project has a trunk where we make all development changes to. We also have a branch with slightly modified parameters to accommodate another department. We work in batches, and once we are done with a set of changes to the trunk, switch over to the branch and merge all appropriate revisions. This has been going on a while but I hav...
I'm using tortoise svn in Windows. How can I branch in SVN and have it branch my svn:external folders as well? ...
I currently use Notepad++ for most of my development. I have been checking out other, more full-featured options and would like to switch (I'm in particular a fan of Aptana so far) but there is one thing about Notepad++ that I really like and I haven't been able to get so far. My current workflow is something like this: Workflow (I t...
I commited a bunch of files (dozens of files in different folders) by accident. What is the easiest, cleanest (and safest!) way to 'undo' that commit w/o having to delete the files from my working directory? ...
First, a couple operating parameters: .NET development using Visual Studio 2005/2008 TortoiseSVN client I've only primarily worked with Visual Source Safe and SourceGear Vault source control systems. In each, I map the root of the repository to a local working directory. For example: $/ --> C:\source As long as the local direc...
Here is the question: Can TortoiseSvn work on Windows 2008 without turning off User Account Control? Here is the story: I just moved my test server to Windows 2008 and I am having problems with TortoiseSvn. I am logged on as an administrator, but when I go to update some code from the Subversion repository, I get a message saying: ...
I am interested if it's safe to install both TortoiseCVS and TortoiseSVN on the same computer? All our corporate projects are controlled by CVS, but I want to use SVN for my personal documents (and TortoiseSVN as client). Is it possible? Thanks! ...
For some reason, no matter how I go about it, I cannot get TortoiseSVN to add an Author to Log Messages. Currently we connect to a PC running svnserve, so it's not a file:// Address. We have tried using svn://Username@svnAddress, svn://svnAddress Even setting svn:keywords $Author: AuthorName$ I was under the impression that TortoiseSV...
I'm using Subversion to manage and store a decent volume of code. Trying to get at it on a standard work machine using svn+ssh with TortoiseSVN on Vista, I find that I can't actually bring all of it down to my local machine at once - the transfer stops after about 1 MB. I can grab it all in fits and starts by canceling the process and up...
