TFS 2008, remove file from source control but leave it in the project

We are using Scott Hansleman's suggestion for multiple web.configs from his post here. The problem we have is that we have to check out the Web.Config. If we remove it from the project, when we publish, no web.config is pushed. So we need to remove the source control bindings just from the web.config, but leave it in the project, and ...

Best practices for git repositories on open source projects

I'm contributing to a fairly small open source project hosted on Github. So that other people can take advantage of my work, I've created my own fork on Github. Despite Github's choice of terminology, I don't wish to totally diverge from the main project. However, I don't expect or desire that all of my work is accepted into the main rep...

How to handle new versions of a .NET application in Subversion?

I'm new to source control in general and am wondering how to handle the following scenario: Say I have an application written for one platform, say Windows Forms in .NET and I've developed it using Subversion (or any SCM software I suppose). Now I'd like to update the application to use WPF and maybe add a few other enhancements. Would...

TFS: merging a branch back to a trunk folder that's since been renamed

I'm using TFS and trying to merge a branch back to the trunk from which it was made. Trouble is, the Source Control Merge Wizard has no entries in its Target Branch dropdown list. I suspect this is because the trunk was renamed after the branch was made. Is there a simple way that I can still perform the merge and have TFS recognise tha...

Snippets and prototype projects - how to organise?

Hi, When learning a langugage, I routinely find myself prototyping new concepts outside of the current project, and often find myself with dozens of small, single use projects which I refer back to, as well as lots of useful code snippets which don't necessarily belong in a function library, but need storing non-the-less. Whats the bes...

Best SCM practices for live databases

I've been building out an SCM environment (that has to be PCI compliant, but that's tangential to this issue). I've got to the point where I want to automate database updates, but I'm not 100% sure that's the best way forward. Say I want to add a field to a DB table. Easy enough to add it to the dev environment, but what about rolling ...

What Source Control Has MATLAB Integration?

Dangers of Implementing Programming Frameworks into Project Source Code Prior to Release Candidate Status?

I've been dwelling on this topic for a long time now. I just wondered if anyone else out there shared my opinion. Isn't it essentially a bad idea integrating preview versions of programming frameworks into your project code before they are at release candidate level?! I had a situation a few months ago where my boss insisted on using th...

finding all dependencies in a verilog compile

I'm trying to cheaply and accurately predict all the system-verilog dependencies for a build flow. It is ok to over-predict the dependencies and find a few verilog files that aren't sv dependencies, but I don't want to miss any dependencies. Do I actually have to parse the Verilog in order to determine all its dependencies? There are ...

Searching svn commits

Another "this ought to be easy but I don't know how to do it" question ... We have an SVN repository with many many branches. Is there any way to ask a question like "What are all the commits I did in the last week against all branches?" or "What are all the revisions that include changes to file X across all branches?" I can do a log ...

Git - Committing Machine Specific Configuration Files

A common scenario when I develop is that the codebase will have several config files which require machine specific settings. These files will be checked into Git and other developers will always accidentally check them back in and break someone else's configuration. A simple solution to this would be to just not check them in to Git, o...

Can I use Subversion for a multi gigabyte data set?

The data set is 97984 files in 6766 folders with 2,57 GB. A lot of them are binary files. For me this does not sound so much. The daily data change rate is in the hundreds of KB on maybe 50 files. But I'm scared that subversion will become extremely slow. It was never fast anyway and the last time at v1.2 the recommendation was split...
