I often need to make a manifest of files with Microsoft Visual Source Safe version numbers on them. Is there a way to get a list of files with version numbers in a project? ...
I've been trying to build subversion (on a limited account) for a long time but without any luck :( The instructions I'm following: http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Subversion_Installation Running this: ./configure --prefix=${RUN} --without-berkeley-db --with-ssl --with-zlib --enable-shared Gives me this error: checking for library contai...
We happily use SVN for SCM at work. Currently I've got our binary assets in the same SVN repository as our code. SVN supports very large files (it transmits them 'streamily' to keep memory usage sane), but it is SLOOWWWWW. What asset management software do you recommend, for about a GB (and growing) worth of assets? We would prefer b...
We happily use SVN for SCM at work. Currently I've got our binary assets in the same SVN repository as our code. SVN supports very large files (it transmits them 'streamily' to keep memory usage sane), but it makes everything SLOOWWWWW. I'm ok with slow asset versioning, but slow text operations isn't really acceptable. Right now a...
There was a recent question about, effectively, replacing a local source code control system with a "keep all versions" file system or tool. Many of the answers said in essence that source code control systems are for more than just keeping past versions, even for an individual developer - something I think is correct. So, the question...
I've decided that I want to use Mercurial for a small, personal project. Most of the help I've read about it talks about merging changes between multiple users. Since I'm solo, that's not going to happen. Should I have multiple repositories? My development computer is already backed up nightly to my Windows Home Server, so it doesn...
In Visual Studio website projects (in Visual Studio 2005 or later, not web application projects where there is still a .csproj file) how is the reference information stored, and is it possible to source control it without storing compiled binaries in source control? If you right-click on a website project and select Property Pages, the ...
Hi Everyone, As far as I understand, if I want to get my database under source control then I need to be checking in change scripts for each change and then running them from some revision to get the correct DB. I am trying to make a batch file that will be checked in too, that allows other developers on the team to re-build the DB loc...
Hello all, Here's an open ended question. I work on a lot of mssql files, and I like to have a date stamp on each. This is so I can know just by looking at the source of a stored procedure whether it's up to date or not. I'd like to have a shortcut autocomplete key, that, if i type say, d-tab-tab, I get the current date printed to the ...
Our windows deliverable has different sets of config files and binary assets for different customers. Right now the configuring is done by hand before packaging and its error prone. What do you think of using branches for each customer, and having the package build/script automerge the customer's branch with trunk? I'm less concerned ...
At my workplace we are using CVS as the version control system. Since we are using Windows mostly, TortoiseCVS and WinCVS serve as the GUI front-ends to CVS. Is there anything like those front-ends for one of the distributed VCS (bzr, hg, git)? I know we could use the command line but that is not an option. I've already tried Bazaar an...
I've seen the word "spike" used in relation to source-control. For example, a project I'm working with has three top-level folders: trunk, branches and spikes. What's the meaning of this term? ...
In standard php or source code based projects we easily keep all of the code in SVN and each developer can checkout their own copy and collaborate on the same code. When developing a Drupal site however, much of the work is in "setup". Besides the theme and modules you don't really have any "source code". How do you run multiple ins...
A lot of programmers who are used Visual Studio have a hard time adjusting to the fact that in other source control systems, files do not need to be locked/checked out to one developer at any given time. Proponents of merging say that allowing two people to work on the same file speeds up productivity since it eliminates queuing up for ...
I am evaluating VisualSVN for me and a small team of developers. I set it up on the server (VisualSVN server) without problems and installed TortoiseSVN and VisualSVN in order to integrate it in Visual Studio 2008. So far, it works well and we use it for the development of our main application. I've heard good things about the new versi...
I want to use the new report builder 2.0, rather than the old VS2005 integrated report builder for the new features and ease of use, but source control integration is a must. I don't see any ability to use TFS natively, and I have installed the TFS MSSCCI Provider, all with no love. Does anyone know how to get them to play well, or am ...
What is a git topic branch? Does it differ from an ordinary branch in some way? Are there any branches that are not topic branches? ...
We have a few SGI Onyx 350 and Orgin 350 systems running IRIX 6.5.x that we would like to install Subversion on. One of them will likely be used as a simple repository server running svnserve. The others will only need client installs. The Subversion webpage has links to unofficial binaries for many *NIX systems, including HP-UX, Sola...
The title says it all - please share how you do version control for Lotus Notes/Domino development. I want to put in our SVN repository all the scripts, views, custom forms, script libraries, etc. Semi-automated methods are accepted as well (i.e. if I find a way to get all the event scripts for a form in one file, and to be able to pla...
I cloned a Git master and made a lot of changes on the clone. I have since committed these changes on the clone and now want the master to be a carbon copy of what is on the clone. I've tried Git push on the clone to push the changes to the master - but nothing I do updates the master. How can I make the master an exact copy of what is...
