I've got a strong background in Linux and OSX, and just left a job where I was architecting systems based on those platforms. Now I've got a Windows Server running IIS that has a number of different websites that it hosts. Most of them are just a bunch of HTML, JS and Images, with some ASP for some customer tools. (Each website has a di...
Specifically: Why do I need to explicitly enable "Enable baseless merges" all the time? I am integrating from my branch to the trunk. What does "Enable integrate over deleted targets" mean? Shouldn't it do this by default? If the file doesn't exist, and you integrate to that branch with the file, it should create the file, right?? Wha...
I've used CVS and SVN. The problem I run into with both of them is that you have to explicitly perform all of the add/delete/update/move etc. operations using a tool that remembers those actions so that they can be committed. Tools like TortoiseSVN make life easier, but not as easy as I would like. IDE integration is nice, too, but I ...

I have a couple of projects with different release cycles sitting in my svn repository. Releases are created by using the classic tags structure in svn. When there are bugs to fix in releases a branch is created from a tag, the bug is fixed and then merged from there into trunk. Now, for multiple reasons, I want to switch from svn to me...
I'm learning mercurial as my solo scm software. With other management software, you can put change comments into the file header through tags. With hg you comment the change set, and that doesn't get into the source. I'm more used to central control like VSS. Why should I put the file history into the header of the source file? Shou...
Just starting out with subversion, have set up repos for 3 current projects and all seems good. Subclipse is nice isn't it! Anyway, what I'd like to have is a nice timeline showing the commits with comments for these repos. They are all hosted on the same server as the websites that they contain. I've tried trac, which does what I want...
If I have some files that are especially important, can they be SVN committed to two repositories? I can set up two SVN repositories on 2 different machines so that if there is problem with one machine, then there is always a back up. (will be best if it can be Tortoise or command line). thanks. ...

(Actual site names have been changed) I installed drupal on elephantboarding.com, and it is under version control. I svn updated in landonwinters.com/elephantboarding after i svn committed the installation in megafishoil.com.

Say i added prints in File A but i modified File B. B is what i want to commit and A i want to go back to its old state ? ...
Ok, I have read the other threads I could find on this subject, but still I think I want to beat this particular dead horse a bit. The situation I am in is this. I currently use Perforce locally on my computer at home and on my computer at work and I am very happy with it. But I want to share the SCM Love with my co-workers and we are ...

Currently, my team has a set of files that should not be under version control, but they are. I would like to remove them from our subversion repository, and allow everyone to keep their local versions. What is the best way to accomplish this? Deleting the files removes them from the repository, as well as everyone's local file system...
What is your favourite feature, or a feature you would want to have, in Version Control support in IDE (or editor) you use? I mean here features such as: automatically adding files to version control when you are adding them to a project graphical diff and quickdiff (highlighting differences) for comparing with last version, and with ...
I'm just getting into Subversion for personal projects and am interested in knowing what tools you use that integrate with Subversion on the Windows platform. Things like visualisation, backup, IDE integration, issue tracking integration etc. Anything that extends the basic functionality of Subversion really to make it more powerful. ...
Ok so we all know the standard SVN set-up of trunk\ branches\ tags\ And I realize that the recommendation is that tags should have "special" commits in it. I've never really used the tags directory however and I don't see why I ever would. My understanding is that tags\ would contain things like "Version1Release\, Version2Release\, ...
I want a tool or a technique to be able to answer the question "What version of file X was used to build Assembly abc.dll?" I recently moved to a .NET development group, and it seems like this question comes up all the time, in one form or another, and we don't quite have a handle on it. Someone will say something like "Hey, is your la...
