How would go about implementing version control for BusinessObjects (as in the BI solution)? Ideally we would like to have some sort of way of getting artifacts into our Subversion repository. (I don't know much about BusinessObjects to be honest). ...
How would go about implementing version control for Msft Reporting Services? Ideally we would like to have some sort of way of getting artifacts into our Subversion repository. We can maintain the report definition files into the repos, but is there a better way of going about keeping a RS solution under version control? ...
We are currently planning a quality improvement exercise and i would like to target the most commonly edited files in our clearcase vobs. Since we have just been through a bug fixing phase the most commonly edited files should give a good indication of where the most bug prone code is, and therefore the most in need of quality improvment...
I'm coding a Rails project in a Windows environment and using Eclipse (with the Aptana plug-in) as my development environment. I'm far enough along in my project now that I don't want to lose any of my work, and would like to start version controlling it. What would you suggest I use? I've Googled and seen some responses for Git and T...
Hi, I'm in a little bitty startup company. Right now we are using JEDI VCS for our source control needs, which isn't too bad except for it's buggy. It worked because we were using it to manage "old" Delphi projects. Now, we are developing things in VS 2008 and .NET and I realized JEDI is extremely tied to Delphi when I went to try to b...
Is it possible in any of the modern SCMs to grab a complete list of commits, their revision numbers and the user that did it, when given a specific character count? I'd like to find out which -- if any -- of the developers are letting the side down with useless commits. Disclamer: I understand that short commit messages can sometimes a...
Hello, I setup the basic Win32 CollabNet SVN Server 1.6.5-6 with all the default settings and Apache running on port 9999 . Also, I installed TortoiseSVN . Everything works fine with Tortoise and also with Eclipse as long as I use a FILE url such as: file:///C:/SVNRepository/ . If I point Internet Exploder at http://localhost:9999 i...
I've started tracking an svn repository with git by cloning only its trunk directory. Now I want to track the other stuff, but I don't want to have to clone it again just to use --stdlayout since it takes a long time to download and I already have most of the code locally. How do I change the repository layout to match svn trunk/branches...
We have a project and are about to add a new piece of functionality to otherwise stable codebase without any major changes going on except defect fixing. The plan is not develop the new feature separately for a while (probably a month) doing intermediate builds and testing and as the feature is finished and the quality is acceptable merg...
For one of my ASP.Net site I use AnkhSVN to commit to a VisualSVN Server with a post commit hook to update the live website. This setup works great for every directory EXCEPT the Bin directory. When I build my solution the dll is placed in the site's /Bin but does not show up in Pending Changes. If I select the dll, right click -> Refre...
We have an ADP project created several years ago using Access 2000. This project is under source control (using the Access' standard MSSCCI-based add-in that integrates Access with SourceSafe). Now we use Access 2003 to work with this project. Everything seems to be working okay, including integration with source control. However, when...
Hello, At work we use perforce and are encouraged to make regular commits to it (something I am fine with). However, I'd like to run something like mercurial so I can locally commit stuff that is work in progress and doesn't necessarily compile/run and then from this do my regular commits to the central perforce server. My question her...
What is a branch in CVS? ...
I'd like to work on my own projects on different computers...on the road on a laptop, or at home on the desktop, or even at work. I'd like to keep the data relatively private, and I don't want to pay for private repositories on github. Ideally, I'd host a git or svn repository on my web host, or something like that. Can I do that? Or...
The worst one I've been caught by was with git submodules. I had a submodule for a project on github. The project was unmaintained, and I wanted to submit patches, but couldn't, so I forked. Now the submodule was pointing at the original library, and I needed it to point at the fork instead. So I deleted the old submodule and replace...
What do you all normally do when checking code out of version control software to perform your continuous integration or nightly build? Do you 1) pull the latest code, or 2) pull by some tag (i.e. FUNCTIONAL) that represents the developer's latest code to be tested? I guess the answer to this depends on how people normally use their co...
Can Xcode be used to develop in Client/Server environment. By that i mean, source code is in once location and multiple people can work on the same project without having to have multiple un-synced copies. Much like we can do with DreamWeaver. We establish sites and the source is in single location (server), and "clients" 1) lock the f...
For a while now I've been using subversion for my personal projects. More and more I keep hearing great things about Git and Mercurial, and DVCS in general. I'd like to give the whole DVCS thing a whirl, but I'm not too familiar with either option. What are some of the differences between Mercurial and Git? Note that I'm not trying t...
I do some part-time web design work with some other people, and they don't use subversion/any sort of version-control. However, I would like to. Is there some sort of system (perhaps I can use GIT on my local machine for this...?) that would let me not only keep track of my own personal versions of the files, but also the version of the ...
Is there a single server I can use to store/manage repositories which could then be accessed by the common/modern open-source (D)VCSs such as SVN, Git, Mercurial, bzr, etc and still keep a good level of compatibility with all of them? We have a large number of users on SVN, some on Git, and a couple using mercurial but none are using an...
