Does anyone have any experience using version control with a production website? Would it be a terrible idea to run a website from a repository? I just found a related article but I would like to hear your thoughts/comments. ...
We use Visual Source Safe 6.0 at work and VB6 is supposed to integrate smoothly with Source Safe. Both applications are installed on my PC, but VB6 is not showing the options to integrate with Source Safe (e.g. checking out a file, seeing if a file is shared, etc.). What do I need to do to get VB6 to integrate with Source Safe 6.0? ...
I'd like to build a trusted path for software development. This means that every change in to code must be signed by the author and one reviewer, before being accepted. These signatures for the changes must be verifiable at release time, or there must be some other means of making sure the repository can not have been tampered, or additi...
I've started development on a project (which used CVS) by downloading its sources, creating a fresh HG repository, and using that. However, the original project now has converted to using Mercurial as well. Can I add its history before my initial commit into my repository? Alternately, how can I push my repository to the remote one so...
This is from a sql script. What tool can generate this? Thanks --USE [MY_TABLE] GO /****** Object: StoredProcedure [dbo].[adminIncExp] Script Date: 03/05/2010 09:14:12 ******/ SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO -- ============================================= -- Author: <Author,,Name> -- Create date: <...
I'd like it so when I check out a file no one else can edit it until I check it back in. Is there a version control system that allows me to do this? I currently use Subversion and I know it has the 'lock' feature but I want it to do that automatically without me having to request it on each file I'm working on. ...
We are planning on having a policy to prevent commits to trunk. All commits must happen against branches. What should be my approach to get this done? ...
Im looking for a command that gives me all the deep overlapped files in a stream. I've tried accurev stat -B *.cs Doesnt really work. Thanks in Advance ...
I am working with a team that edits large DAGs represented as single files. Currently we are unable to work with multiple users concurrently modifying the DAG. Is there a tool (somewhat like the Eclipse SVN plugin) that can do do revision control on the file (manage timestamps/revision stamps) to identify incoming/outgoing/conflicting c...
This is more a use-case question, but I generate static files for a personal website using txt2tags. I was thinking of maybe storing this information in a git repository. Normally I use RCS since it's simplest, and I'm only a single user. But there just seems to be a large trend of people using git/svn/cvs/etc. for personal data, and I ...
I am working on a software project which uses the Microsoft Visual source safe version control system. I need to access this system from home as I often work on source code files from there. How I can VSS be setup so that it can be accessed from the internet as well. ...
I have a .cpp file and .h file containing a class. Class.cpp contains the implementation and Class.h contains the definition. The class is overcomplicated so I want to separate some code and move it into a separate class. So I create NewClass.cpp and NewClass.h and move the code there. How do I handle this when the files are under SVN? ...
I'm working with a shell account in a shared system and I would like to use some version control software for my bash scripts and config files. It must works on Linux with no dependencies, just unpack it in my home dir. I don't need remote checkout, branching or other fancy tricks. I want to be able to commit my changes and restore them...
For various reasons (code review mostly) I need to switch from current development branch to other branches quite often. Currently, I use either 'git stash' to shelve the uncommitted changes, checkout other branch, then switch back and do 'git stash apply' However, sometimes I'd have some newly added files there, which are not tracked....
I'm renting a slice (i.e., a VPS) from Slicehost. I've a spent a day or two filling up /usr with my favorite packages, /etc with configs and init scripts, and so on. Now I want to: save this whole setup somewhere (e.g., to load onto another machine). see what changes I've made to which files revert changes, tag revisions, and all tha...
I currently use Subversion for my one-person software company. Is it worthwhile moving to Hg (Mercurial)? Or are the benefits only realisable with a multiperson team? ...
Have: xCode project with Google Analytics lib, could be normally compiled. Want just to put it to already working SVN to build project from the work macosx without any additional steps. I've tried different ways to add *.a file to the svn, but all just have not worked. When adding a directory there is all files except *.a in the svn. ...
I have checked out now a local working copy of a codebase that lives in an svn repo. It's a big Java project that I use Eclipse to develop in. Eclipse of course builds everything on the fly, in it's own way with all the binaries ending up in [project root]/bin. That's perfectly fine with me, for development, but when the build runs on...
Git is implemented as a directed acyclic graph. Children know their parents but not the other way round. This makes sense because i can reach every commit only through a branch or a tag ( generally speaking through a reference). That's how i traverse the tree. What other reasons had the developers of Git to make "the children know their ...
Our team is currently using plain old TFS 2005, no branching, shared checkouts etc... I would like to introduce a DEV/MAIN/PROD branching system simillar to the basic flavor in the TFS Guidance document so that we can do some parallel dev, isolation, and firm up review and deployment processes. I have read most of the whitepapers etc....
