I used to used git for version control and like the branch/stash feature. Now I am developing on VS2005 and using TFS for version control. Can anyone give me some website for TFS team explorer tutorial/manual? As least I want to find out how to branch. thanks! ...
The point in removing trailing whitespace is that if everyone does it always then you end up with a diff that is minimal, ie. it consists only of code changes and not whitespace changes. However when working with other people who do not practice this, removing all trailing whitespace with your editor or a pre-commit hook results in an e...
I needed to understand what are the FAST ESP components that can be versioned in source control? Are there any best practices to follow for the same so that can be used for regular builds and deployment? ...

Is there a way in Visual SourceSafe to move a file from one directory to another while retaining its history? Edit I actually found a round about way to do this. First I drag the file I want to move to the directory I want to move it to, this creates a "Link" to the file there and then I "permanently destroy" the file in its original ...
I have to maintain a huge set of training material in forms of slides. At a first glance, I've noticed there's no support for version control in OpenOffice OOImpress (but I might be wrong on this). Which tool should I use to easily maintain my training material? I thought about using LaTeX + Beamer so that I can easily put under versi...
I currently use SVN and have a framework that I use on all of my projects, let's say this framework has lib directory with needed files. That directory is in a 'framework' repository so I can update it on every project. My problem is that in that lib directory I want to add a project specific file that should be in project specific repos...
I am about to start a project and was thinking of using Google Code to host it. It gives the option of using Mercurial or SVN for version control. I have never before used a VCS, and would like to know which one is easier to work with. The project involves two main programmers, but a few others may contribute small amounts. It is mostly...
I'm just getting used to Subversion and I have a fundamental question about versioning. I've created my SVN repository on a server "S" hosted in my network. Assuming I "import" code, files, directories, etc. from another computer "A" in the network, it gets added to my server's SVN repository. I do a checkout from another computer "B"...
I'm on a team using Git right now, and we have a pretty good workflow. We have a central repository with two branches, dev and master. We create local branches to work on individual tasks. We merge into dev when they are ready. Then we merge to master when things are ready, and we tag all of our releases. If multiple developers need to c...
After some research I have found that it is possible to move files out of one repo and into another, separate repo and still maintain the associated history. The process includes dumping the entire repo to file, filtering that dump file for the paths/files you want (assuming you don't want to move everything), then loading said dump file...
We are just starting to be using subversion as our SCM software at my job, I would need some advise here. My project manager would like to use only one instance of a software to manage every projects we have (so we don't want to install a trac instance for each project we start it's kind of an overload).I heard trac can support multiple...
Need to convert a web part to a field control on a Sharepoint page. Part of the problem is to migrate all the content on existing pages that use the web part to the corresponding field control. Any ideas on how to accomplish this as painlessly as possible? ...
The project I work on has recently been switched from a horribly antiquated revision control system to Subversion. I felt like I had a fairly good understanding of Subversion a few years ago, but once I learned about Mercurial, I forgot about Subversion quickly. My question is targeted at those who work with a sizable number (15+) deve...
I've been using Git for the past few months and love it. I looked into how to host it in a corporate environment. Considering a 10 person team who use Visual SourceSafe, programming in Coldfusion, Powerbuilder, PHP and a bit of .NET, I found, to my surprise, that the Git 'server' tooling is still fairly rudimentary. http://stackoverflo...
I have created an SVN repository for project but now realise that the files initially imported are not the most recent. When I compare the 2 versions of the project with Beyond Compare, the projects do not have the exact same set of files within them. Both project folders have some files which are unique. I want to now add the correct ...
A Google search revealed the existence of some custom scripts, for example PVCS --> CVS and then cvs --> svn should be quite straightforward. But ... Has anyone really tried them? With which versions of the platforms? Other migration experiences might be useful to know about too. Thanks. ...
When a text conflict occurs in Bazaar (and many other dvcs) a .BASE, .THIS and .OTHER file is produced. Its then up to the user to make use of an 3 way merge tool to merge the conflict and then mark it as resolved. I would like to get hold of all the registered merge viewers in eclipse and give the user an option to merge the conflict w...
I'm looking for a version control system just for me on my windows computer to integrate into eclipse. I was thinking to use Mercurial instead of Subversion, but I'm having doubts about the mercurial eclipse plugin. Any input on this that you can help me with? Is it worth it to have a version control system when you're working alone, ho...
