I've got a folder where I check out projects I need to work on, there are about 40 project folders in there, with many thousands of individual files each. Our IT manager says having so many files on the disk is slowing down my machine... can this be true? I have about 40GB of free space. ...
I'm having trouble covering all the issues with doing Software Configuration Management on a CMS (specifically, Joomla!). I'm writing custom templates, of course, but also custom modules and components. These websites and apps are for clients, not in-house. I want to actually version the configuration of the site, not just the code ...

How do you store third party libraries that you use in your project in your source control? When would you store binaries in your source control? When would you store the code in your source control? Would you ever store both? In what situations would you do this? (Btw, I'm using .NET but it doesn't really matter for this question) ...
Does anyone commit Qt to their own source control? If so, how do you do it? Do you commit the whole Qt directory or do you pick only the ones that your application needs (bin/lib/include/src) How do you handle the case when new Qt version comes out? I'm asking because I'm trying to setup Build automation and Qt moc is a bit of a pain.....
The theory that "disk" is cheap has gotten a bit out of hand lately. There are some powerful aspects of version control that have enabled us to onboard new developers with a few bootstrap files and one simple command to pull the toolchain over. Recently upgrades to the systems have prompted requests for storing built binaries. This ...
I use to work with Visual Studio + C#, and have been using svn before, but not currently, so I want to put my code again on source's control. Recently i heard about git, and I have been reading the git wiki and this and this, and i have read that there are no gui clients for git like TortoiseSvn, or at least, i haven't found'em. My que...
I've been using mercurial for a little while, but mainly for my own usage. Now though, I have a project I'm working on where two of us are building the same project, and we will probably be modifiying each other's files. I would like to setup a mercurial repo on a server, make that repo the "server", so my changes and the other editor'...
I have been told that the best SVN client for Microsoft Windows is Tortoise SVN. However, when I install it, adds only items to my shell, i.e. the right-click options when I click on folders. When I try to check out a folder, it tries to create a repository inside the folder I am working on. I would prefer my repository to be outside...
I have been extremely naughty. I have been developing a piece of software (I'm the only developer) for a little while (O.K., it's over the course of a few years), but have not used any sort of source control. I have resolved to use source control (git seems most likely, as the windows tools seem to have come on a lot on the last few mon...
Hi all, I have inherited a single project in svn: 30Gb in over 300 000 files. There are tons of binary files in there mostly in an images folder. Operations like updating the entire project can be dramatically slow. The team has evolved a process to only run update/switch on the specific folders they are working on and end up checking...
I'm working on a Flash project right now and I am having to force a designer into using our Source Control repository (SVN) to help manage and track the project. It's been a bit of an uphill battle to fully get him to embrace the benefits of source control, but it's coming along. I haven't had to use source control for a Flash project ...
I am thinking of a list that I could refer other developers to with things like: One build script, such as makefile, will build and test entire project All components to needed build the system need to be source controlled Anybody have such a list? In priority order? UPDATE - added some fyi detail System in question consists of C...
I was writing a simple script in the school computer, and commiting the changes to git (in a repo that was in my pendrive, cloned from my computer at home). After several commits I realized I was commiting stuff as root. Is there any way to change the author of these commits to my name? ...
I am a release engineer for a team of 35 programmers. We are working on PHP, Java, C# and SQL. We currently use Subversion, which has worked okay for about a year. We are going through a phase where conflicts are becoming more and more common. Our application footprints are growing, so performance is becoming an issue for checkouts and c...
What template do you use for comments on code commit? One example of a template is: (change 1): (source file 1.1, 1.2): (details of change made), (why) (change 2): (source file 2.1): (details of change made), (why) Ideally each change should be mapped to an issue in the issue tracker. Is this template alright? ...
Hi My company maintains two SVN repositories, Repository 1 and Repository 2: This repository has multiple projects in it, and is only accessed by the developers within the company. Access is through HTTPS and authentication is through the Windows domain. This repository has a single project in it, and is accessed by the developers wit...
I've arrived at the point where I realise that I must start versioning my database schemata and changes. I consequently read the existing posts on SO about that topic but I'm not sure how to proceed. I'm basically a one man company and not long ago I didn't even use version control for my code. I'm on a windows environment, using Aptana...
Ok, here is something that has caused some friction at my current job and I really didn't expect it to. Organized in house software development is a new concept here and I have drawn up a first draft of some coding guidelines. I have proposed that "commented out" code should never be checked into the repository. The reason I have stated...
Does anyone know what CRC checksum calculation is used in Microsoft SourceSafe? I want to calculate a checksum locally and compare it to the SourceSafe checksum. I am using a CRC algorithm I found on the internet, but the seed or polynomial for the algorithm seems to be different for SourceSafe. ...
