Is there any way with subversion or any other VCS that i can keep the checked out files in the .svn directory in a different place then the directory where they "belong". For example having some toplevel /work/my-source-tree and a /work/my-source-tree-svn directory? I know why the files are duplicated in .svn directories (fast detection...
What is the best way to setup perforce version control for the latest fitnesse distributions? We have our fitnesse files under perforce version control, but manually checking out prior to each update is a bit of a pain. Since the 20090214 release of Fitnesse, CM integration is included or more precisely plugins for version control syste...
I started a project and added it to hg, but I want to take *.cs file under version control only, so,i have to add bin, obj, sln, suo,_resharper folder etc to ignore pattern, ,how to let hg only monitor certain kind of file like white list? How to do that in Subversion? ...
Given I'm: a solo developer using VS2008 Professional looking for Microsoft-produced source control (I'm aware there are alternatives) looking to get away from Visual SourceSafe 2005 Is it correct that my only option is to drop ~$8k on Visual Studio Team System 2008 Development Edition ($5,469) + Team Foundation Server ($2,799) - in ...
I want to trigger a build only when a particular file is checked in. So i need a way of accessing the associated filename from a changeset from the tfs build script, so i can check for the condition before triggering the build. Would commands involving tf.exe like tf properties,tf get help? I know its not possible to extract the output...
I'm using a Visual Studio (2005) + Perforce combination for a particular solution, and I'd like to manually modify a Perforce parameter (the client name). From VS's "Change Source Control" dialog it seems that SCM info is saved per-project; however, the .csproj.vspscc files don't seem to hold any Perforce-related information, and neit...
If I want to essentially grep every line ever in the repository, is there a way to do it? I know this would take a long time for large projects. If not all inclusive, at least just the current branch and its entire source history? Edit: I should have been more explicit. What if I don't have direct access to the server that the CVS repo...
Background: I've inherited some MATLAB code to analyze data for my Ph.D. research. To help me better understand the code, I've pared the code down to the minimum subset of files required to run the code for a sample test case. Question: I would like to commit this code to a version control system as two branches, a master branch contai...
Hi, I'm looking for independent industry reports that compare and contrast the various source control tools out there. In particular, I care about Clearcase vs Sourcesafe vs SVN, but if the report includes other SCM systems that's fine. I need this for a client who wants to get a feel on exactly what they stand to gain switching to SVN...
We've been using CVS (with TortoiseCVS interface) for years for both source control and wide-ranging document control (including binaries such as Word, Excel, Framemaker, test data, simulation results, etc.). Unlike typical version control systems, 99% of the time we want to prevent concurrent editing - when a user starts editing a file...
I'm from an clientside language programming background, specifically ActionScript. So although I'm fairly code aware I have very little server side experience, particularly version control of databases along with the rails application itself. And then there's the command line which is a complete mystery. Right now I'm building my first ...
I've recently been involved in a project in which Software Configuration Management has played a crucial role. However, I believe my skills in SCM are lacking. What reading (books,articles, etc...) would you recommend on SCM Best Practices? I'm not looking for books on SCM tools. I've already got that skill set covered :) ...
I'm looking for a subversion tool, and i have the following requirements: Must integrate into VS 2008 Automatically submits new versions Does not use the command line as primary interface Doesn't clutter up explorer with bright icon overlays or context menus is only going to be used by one user mostly if not completely, so doesn't need...
I'm trying fossil as my new VCS, since I'm a lone developer working on small projects. I started testing fossil but I encountered a (probably major newbie) problem. How does one push or pull to another directory (which is easy on Hg). Fossil pull or push commands expect a URL and not a directory. When I start a server in one directory an...
In my repository, lets say I have this: Animal Dog Beagle Hound ... Lets say I checked out Dog to a working directory and I realized, whoops, I really wanted to checkout Animal. I can delete my working copy, the Dog directory, and checkout Animal, but is there way I can do so without deleting and checking out again? ...
My DBA just lost some development work that he did on our development database. Poor fella. So naturally our manager asked him, at our status meeting, how this could happen and how we could avoid this happening in the future. "Source control could alleviate the problem" I suggested... The dba's response; "No, we just backup the server mo...
I'd like to be able to see someone's total lines of code contributed to our application. Say the app is 10k lines of code, I'd like to see the breakdown of how many LOC each developer has committed to the repository. Is there anything for SubVersion to get this kind of info? ...
I have created a C# service but it fails to starts. I get the following message when I attempt to start it: The System Usage Monitor service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services > stop automatically if they have no work to do, for example, the Performance Logs and Alerts > service. The following is my OnStart ...
A commit isn't necessarily in a branch, so how do you see and manage these commits? Also, is it possible to look at these commits from gitk? Thanks a lot! PS: just to make things clearer, here is an example: git init git commit touch toto git add toto git commit -a echo $RANDOM > toto git commit -a git checkout f798e54 #checkout initi...
Hi, I have added reference to few dlls in my VB.net Project. When I check into Visual source safe and get latest version from another machine, VS.net 2008 throws errors. I have to add the references again in that new machine. Is there anyway where I can keep the references in spite of files checked in to VSS? I need to send copy all t...
