When using Subversion, should developers be working off the trunk or should the trunk be only used for merges from each individual developer's branch and watched by a continuous integration service? ...
I'm looking for recommendations/guidance on how best to store DDL/DML and PL/SQL script in Source Control (we're using Microsoft Visual Studio TFS) for an in-house developed SaaS application. We have a team of up to 7 developers working on a project that is based on a fairly straight-forward Dev/Main branch model. There are dependenc...
Our company uses a 'user number' for our primary network ID. We do use Active Directory for managing our users, so we can associate our user number with a Display Name. TFS Source Control by default (only?) shows a User column, which shows the network ID. Is it possible to add/show the Display Name in TFS Source Control instead of, or...
I'm working on versioning our database and now searching for a way to drop all stored procedures and functions from a C# Console Application. I'd rather not create a stored procedure that drops all stored procedures and functions. I has to be some sql executed from C#. I tried to drop the stored procedure before creating it, but I get t...
We normally use Eclipse for a particular Java project, but recently I imported the project into NetBeans to use its dialog building features. Since I'll probably come back to this, I wanted to store the NetBeans project files into version control. However, I don't want to commit files that are "mine" versus "project", i.e., files with my...
Hi all, I have TeamCity 4.5.4 set up and working perfectly for some of our projects, using SVN. Now I need to check out some older projects that are archived into an NG3 Source server, and I can't find a solution. I can't simply migrate the old projects to SVN because the team who is working on them is opposing to that idea, so I should ...
I'm looking at git history and see various edge colors between commits: red, grey, blue, green, brown, etc. What do these colors mean? They seem quite random to me ... ...
It would be nice to have a more or less complete list over what files and/or directories that shouldn't (in most cases) be under source control. What do you think should be excluded? Suggestion so far: In general Config files with sensitive information (passwords, private keys etc.) Thumbs.db, .DS_Store and desktop.ini Editor backup...
Putting development tools (compilers, IDEs, editors, ...) and runtime environments (jre, .net framework, interpreters, ...) under the version control has a couple of nice reasons. First, you can easily compile/run your program just by checking out your repository. You don't have to have anything else. Second, the triple is surely versio...
I'm looking for version control for Oracle 10g. can anyone suggest good ones (free and commercial ones) ? ...
I've started working on an existing project at my company that was check into VSS 6.0 about a month ago. It was built using Visual Studio 2005 and C# and references all point to .NET 2.0. I went into VSS and set my working folder as per usual and got the latest version. I've opened this project at which point I'm prompted with this: ...
I've been tasked with setting up a version control for our web developers. The software, which was chosen for me because we already have other non-web developers using it, is Serena PVCS. I'm having a hard time trying to decide how to set it up so I'm going to describe how development happens in our system, and hopefully it will gene...
While I know you can use a second repository for backup, or create a branch named 'privateBranchOfXcompletelyBrokenBackupOnly', I'm interested to hear about a version control system that supports remote private branches natively. edit: forgot to tell that it should be remote private. Seems only mirror-pushing to a private repo mimicks t...
I am working an a php webapp with eclipse as my IDE. I would now like to set up a version control system to manage my source code. I would also like to use the plugin to deploy my code live to the server. Can anybody recommend a plugin (subclipse?) and perhaps explain how I would use it to deploy my code? ...
Is there any good way to handle large assets (i.e. 1000's of images, flash movies etc.) with a DVCS tool such as hg and git. As I see it, to clone repositories that are filled with 4 GB assets seems like an unnecessary overhead as you will be checking out the files. It seems rather cumbersome if you have source code mixed together with a...
Hi All, I'm just doing some formal training in Agile at the moment and one question I have is about the value of Continuous Builds vs value of committing to the version control system often. My understanding with version control is that its better to commit often, because then you have history and the ability to go back to previous cha...
i’m wondering if it’s possible to load code from an external file to be used in ms access. this is important to allow easy development using version control—.mdb files are impossible to version control. ...
OK, Apologies if this has already been asked and/or Answered but I'm struggling to find the right situation to the problem that I'm investigating as the correct terminology is hard to come by! I have been tasked into looking for a Roll-Back solution for our deployment if for any reason we have an unsuccessful release. Other than heavily...
I am trying to commit a project in which a file has been "cvs remove"d, but actually needs to be there. The contents has been completely rewritten, but it needs to retain the same name. I am unable to either commit the project or re-add the file without getting this annoying error message. How do I "unremove" a file in CVS? ...
There's a special place in hell for people who hardcode absolute paths and database credentials into multiple random places in web applications. Sadly, before they go to hell they're wreaking havoc on Earth. And we have to deal with their code. I have to perform a few small changes to one of such web applications. I create a new branch...
