We are currently determining if we would move CVS and VSS projects to a single SVN server. I've been using SVN for a long time now but is forced to use CVS and VSS for work stuff.

My Hard Drive has failed with some Files in Visual Studio 2005 not checked-in, the changes are minor, however I am unable to edit these files on another machine as source safe says it is checked out by another user.

Is there a Visual Studio addon, or a method present already, that allows me to recursivly compare a project/solution/folder with what's in source control? Note: Source control product agnostic (a.k.a VSS) Update The reason i assume is there is a source control agnostic solution is that Visual Studio supports Microsoft's MSSCCI API. ...
Among the seemingly neverending problems with microsoft visual sourcesafe, i have now done a full 'get' on a project, only for sourcesafe to draw a prompt window which, although i can see fine, i cannot click on or select. More annoyingly it has totally locked visual studio so it seems both are 'unclickable' while waiting for each other...

I let the WebSite opened in the browser all the time, then I get the last version, then starting to browser the WebSite. I forget to build the solution and I end up running the latest version of WebS...
I'm confused on where to obtain Visual SourceSafe. Where can I download Visual SourceSafe? (Is it even free?) I don't see that it's included with Visual Studio? I am running Visual Studio 2008. Edit - I'm not asking for your opinions on SourceSafe, I'm asking how to obtain it? (i.e. Where do you download it or install it from?) Edi...

What would be the ideal reconciliation mechanism between what is there in VSS 6.0 and what is there in our production environment? Our company outsources all its application support & development activities and are dependent on the vendor to provide the solution file to be kept in our VSS. We do have quite a number of projects and would ...

Could anyone kindly give me some hints for the following: Create/reviewing and applying changesets Getting the latest version of the source but only the modified files (preferably using ss.exe) Finding out the files which have been modified locally (again preferably using ss.exe ...
I copied the root folder to my desktop, deleted all files in that folder or under that folder if the file was a VSS file, opened the project, confirmed that I wanted to removed VSS integration and still my web project but not the referenced projects in the solution were tied to VSS and they changed my checkout folder in VSS! ...

Hello. At work we have an (reasonable) agreement, that every time a project is updated, no matter how small change is, that is reflected in the Revision value of Assembly Information. This way we always know if a client is missing a patch or a feature, etc. Since this requires manually changing the version, and since this is a tedious ...
I work on a growing web team that needs to adopt a Source Control system. We looked into Source Safe, but were put off by it's lack of SQL Server source control. The Visual Studio Team System range looks like it does the trick, in terms of source code + database - but I must admit to be confused by the various versions. So my questions...
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 ...
Hi, We are using clearcase as our SCM. I have not much experience with clearcase. Now we are about to release our code to production. I want to label my code as I have done using VSS in my previous projects. But in clearcase labeling is not as easy as in VSS. clearcase is asking to create a label type before label a folder in VOB. I don'...
