Can't move 'D:\Documents\Websites\blah.svn\tmp\entries' to 'D:\ ... .svn\entries': The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable. Any thoughts on what would cause this? This usually happens when trying to commit a large number of new files. Sometimes an update fixes it but most of the time I have to delete the offending direct...
How do I create a new branch with my working copy using TortoiseSVN? I see the branch option but I don't see a way to name it somehow. ...
I want to be able to search within the commit logs of svn. I know you can do that on tortoise. We are moving to a two-tiered repository approach, so that the stable branch will only get fully completed and tested stories. To achieve that, I would need a way to search within the commit messages for the story code (eg:#s1322) and get a lis...
I want to be able to search within the commit logs of svn. I know you can do that on tortoise, but couldn't find a way using the command line. We are moving to a two-tiered repository approach, so that the stable branch will only get stories fully completed and tested. To achieve that, we would need a way to search within the commit me...
We do weekly updates to production server. In the past we've been going to each folder and doing an SVN Update to get latest version of files from the repository. Very tedious. All our development is on the trunk. We'd like to begin (yes, we haven't done this yet) using SVN tags to mark our releases. I believe we could then do an SVN ex...
I'm about to do a commit in TortoiseSVN involving rearranging a lot of files and directories. On the "commit" window, there are several files whose text status is "deleted" or "added" but others whose text status is "deleted (+)" or "added (+)". What does the (+) mean? (It's quite difficult to Google for a plus sign, and the word "plus...
I'm attempting to generate an SVN log file through TortoiseSVN, if that is even possible. I would use the command line svn log --verbose --xml but this won't work since it is a remote repo and I can't define a username/password for it (gets ignored by svn) Is there an equivalent log file generator for TortoiseSVN? Thanks ...
I am trying to switch my local folder from Branch to Trunk. I get the following error. Failed to add directory 'Drive:\Path\To\The\Directory' a versioned directory of the same name already exists What is the resolution for this? ...
How can we export diff of selected revisions in Tortoise SVN with both the old file and new files in two seperate structures? For example, i want to isolate changes done to a branch, in a case where this branch is been modified by many users. So i wanted to select the necessary revisions and then do an export so that i get the changed f...
Hi all I've created a branch to handle some new developments I don't want impacting on the trunk until they're complete. Initially I simply created a copy of the trunk. I then created working copies of both the trunk and the branch. In the working copy of the trunk, I modified a couple of files and added a new one. I then committed my...
Hi, to give a little background, i am required to perform a synch between a folder X with a svnfolder Y. Folder X is the master so after the synch folder Y contains the exact same files/folders as folder X (apart from folder Y contains a .svn folder). After the synch i want to commit Y through the command line. I want all new files to...
There is a desire in one of my teams to force user's to provide a log entry on check-in. I think the only available approach is to create a custom repository hook to reject a check-in. Is this correct ? Any existing examples or commentary on the approach ? ...
When installing TortoiseHg on Windows x64, I have an option to install both x86 and x64 shell extensions, which is useful, as my favorite Windows Explorer replacement is 32-bit. But there is no such options for TortoiseGit or TortoiseSVN, so working with them requires opening Explorer windows. I know it's possible to install 32 and 64-b...
I'm using svn:externals to include code from another project - for which I do not want to commit changes to. One of the files included by svn:externals needs a small change (just a line) to work with my current project. So I want to commit this to my own SVN. How do I do this? If I try and commit as things are now, it tries to commit m...
I have a custom tool that uses svn.exe for committing files, and my project has several files to ignore on every commit (configuration files). This scenario is working well with TortoiseSVN, which moves them into a changeset with "ignore-on-commit" name. svn.exe has parameters to commit changes only from the particular changeset, but it ...
In subversion/TortoiseSVN, I am wondering how to un-version a directory. We have a large number of projects, each with a BIN and OBJ folder which are under source control. I want to delete these two folders from subversion, but keep the folders locally. I tried the "Delete (Keep local)" option, and that works on my machine. However w...
Hallo all, I'm new to tortoise. In order to avoid any unexpected consequence, I'd like ask for your tips on deleting a branch: Could I simply delete the working copy of the branch and the folder in the repository? Should the local working copy of the branch first be deleted, or the branch folder thru the repository browser be removed?...
Hi, I have setup an SVN server on my hosting account. Users can check in and out, but they have access to my entire repository. To give people access, I issue users a public key to my account and then I add a line into my "authorized_keys" file inside my ~/.ssh that looks like this: command="/home/user/packages/bin/svnserve -t -r /home...
I'm in the process of moving from an old laptop to a new one. Am I able to just move my client copy of the svn repository from the old laptop to the new? Note that it has files in it that I'm not able to commit yet. So effectively I want to move \\old-laptop\c$\myDev to become \\new-laptop\c$\myDev Is this possible? (I've searched f...
Source control is great. One of the nice features is that I know that I can go back to previous revisions in case something messes up. However, I still find myself loathe to delete a large batch of code that is no longer necessary, but that I might want to use parts of in the future. It really has no business in the current code base. ...
