This question may seem backwards to all logical reasoning, but I encountered a team member who was working on a side project out of the main tree, and had decided ( rephrased ) I'm the only developer, we don't need version control, that's stupid Now personally, the idea horrifies me, and I can't for one justify it. So now my s...
Lately I've be moving source files around in our source tree. For example placing a bunch of files into a common assembly. I've been doing this my deleting the file from CVS and then adding it again in the new spot. The problem is the revision number of the file resets back to 1.1. Is there some simple way to move things without having ...
I need to customize an open-source project. The changes are for a specific organization and will not be useful to the public project. The code changes include disabling features not needed by the organization (affecting 5% of the code), customizing other features for the organization (affecting 20% of the code), and adding new custom fea...
I am currently working on a project to convert a number of Excel VBA powered workbooks to VSTO solutions. All of the workbooks will share a number of class libraries and third party assemblies, in fact most of the work is done in the class libraries. I currently have my folder structure laid out like this. Base Libraries Ass...
I'd sooner not just permanently have a bunch of files checked out to me, but I'd like a way to prevent some really critical files being changed without my being aware of it. PS Yes I know SourceSafe is terrible. ...
I like to keep my source files on a USB drive for the portability. To date I have been using Visual SourceSafe for this purpose. What is a good alternative to VSS that fulfils these criteria: Entire database can be held on a USB "pen" drive Code / documentation duplicated on local drives Does not require a central server Easy to backup...
On the web side we are working on getting source control. Now, I want to see what can be done for the iSeries side. What is your favorite source control application for iSeries and why? I am looking for low-cost if possible. ...
Title says it. What's the best tool for viewing and editing a merge in Git? I'd like to get a 3-way merge view, with "mine", "theirs" and "output" in separate panels. Also, instructions for invoking said tool would be great. (I still haven't figure out how to start kdiff3 in such a way that it doesn't give me an error) edit: My OS is U...
I unpacked a zip-file delivery into a clearcase view. Now I want to add the complete file tree to the repository. The GUI only provides an "Add to source control ..." for individual files/directories. Do you know how to recursively add the whole tree? (I'm on a Windows system, but have Cygwin installed.) ...
I'm a lone developer at the moment; please share you experiences on what is a good VC setup for a lone developer. My constraints are; I work on multiple machines and need to keep them synced up Sometimes I work offline I'm currently using Subversion(just the client to a remote server), and that is working ok. I'm interested in ...
I'm duty-bound by policy to use CVS in this certain project, so even though I'd really to switch to something else, like Git, I cannot. So, my real question goes like this: We have a convention that we create a new branch in CVS every time we make a release (we also tag, but that is besides the point). We call these version-branches, an...
Many of my colleagues use SVN in groups of 1-5 people partly working on the specific project. Half of them are inexperienced students. In fact non of us are real software developers with year-long experience. Most of them use Eclipse and subclipse to read and write their contributions to the SVN repositories. Some of them have problems ...
Should it be on the development servers or a Subversion server? I suppose this could be expanded to any client-server version control system. ...
Based on a few posts I've read concerning version control, it seems people think pessimistic locking in a version control system is a bad thing. Why? I understand that it prevents one developer from submitting a change while another has the file checked out, but so what? If your code files are so big that you constantly have more than...
Has anyone out there used TFS's API to synchronize different types of repositories? I have a SVN repo that I want to sync with a TFS repo. More accurately, I just want to take everything latest from SVN occasionally (nightly) and dump it out to TFS as the latest version. Any advice? ...
I work on a small web team where I am the only .NET developer currently using Visual Studio 2008 Professional to build and maintain a few web applications. I am about to start training another member of our team so we purchased him a copy of Visual Studio 2008 Professional. I've looked into Visual Source Safe, but I'm dubious. I don't ...
My company has a subsidiary with a slow Internet connection. Our developers there suffer to interact with our central Subversion server. Is it possible to configure a slave/mirror for them? They would interact locally with the server and all the commits would be automatically synchronized to the master server. This should work as tran...
UPDATE: It looks like DHH and the Rails Core team finally have a productization itch to scratch as it were. I'll keep this question up-to-date as and when I get to grips with the new options. It's all in a state of flux at the moment. I'd like to install a Rails app, My$uperWeb$olutionTM, on multiple servers for multiple clients. At th...
I think title should be good enough. ...
I am searching for a good system for PHP, which does UnitTesting, Subversion, Coding Standards. I would love to hear your suggestions and which one is the best and why. I will be running it on a debian server so anything which runs on mac or windows servers would be out of the question. ...
