We were having a problem with our build server not checking out modifications from source control despite recognizing that there had been changes. It was traced to the control folder (not sure what it's real name is), the existing working builds were using _svn. Clearing the working folder forced a new complete checkout and I noticed th...
When installing subversion as a service, I used this command: c:\>svnservice -install --daemon --root "c:\documents and settings\my_repository" And then I got this error: Could not create service in service control manager. After looking at some MSDN docs on the service control manager, I tried granting full control to everyone in ...
I've tried using source control for a couple projects but still don't really understand it. For these projects, we've used TortoiseSVN and have only had one line of revisions. (No trunk, branch, or any of that.) If there is a recommended way to set up source control systems, what are they? What are the reasons and benifits for settin...
I'm currently working at a small web development company, we mostly do campaign sites and other promotional stuff. For our first year we've been using a "server" for sharing project files, a plain windows machine with a network share. But this isn't exactly future proof. SVN is great for code (it's what we use now), but I want to have ...
For my own project at home, I'm using the rather excellent managed subversion hosting from CVSDude. As it's only me working on the code right now, I'm not using CruiseControl.net, however I expect this will change in the next couple of months and will want a full build process to kick off upon check-in. Has anyone managed to get Cruise...
I've found SVN to be extremely useful for documentation, personal files, among other non-source code uses. What other practical uses have you found to version control systems in general? ...
Let's take a web development environment, where developers checkout a project onto their local machines, work on it, and check in changes to development. These changes are further tested on development and moved live on a regular schedule (eg weekly, monthly, etc.). Is it possible to have an auto-moveup of the latest tagged version (and ...
I've got too much to do in too little time. Can you recommend a freelancing / outsourcing service ? Also how do you manage the source code, are there any services like Google code but for closed-source projects ? ...
Questions #1 through #4 on the Joel Test in my opinion are all about the development tools being used and the support system in place for developers: Do you use source control? Can you make a build in one step? Do you make daily builds? Do you have a bug database? I'm just curious what free/cheap (but good) tools exist for the sm...
What are some good resources and tips for migrating from SVN to GIT? ...
When using Subversion (svn) for source control with multiple projects I've noticed that the revision number increases across all of my projects' directories. To illustrate my svn layout (using fictitious project names): /NinjaProg/branches /tags /trunk /StealthApp/branches /tags ...
So, you are all ready to do a big SVN Commit and it bombs because you have inconsistent line endings in some of your files. Fun part is, you're looking at 1,000s of files spanning dozens of folders of different depths. What do you do? ...
I am interested in dropping Visual Sourcesafe in favor of a version control application that offers branching. Sourcesafe's integration into Visual Studio makes checkins/outs a breeze. Can anyone suggest some other programs that offer the same functionality? I would prefer open source but it is not a requirement. ...
Here is the scenario that I have. I have a cvs repository in one location (A) and I want to replicate it and keep it in sync with a repository in another location(B). This would be a single directional sync from A to B. What is the best way to do this? If it is not really feasible in CVS then which source code control system would you re...
I know there are at least 10 different ways to structure project in version control. I'm curious what some methods being used are and which ones work for you. I've worked with SVN, TFS, and currently/unfortunately VSS. I've seen version control implemented very poorly and just OK, but never great. Just to get the ball rolling, here is...
I am looking for a lightweight source control system for use on "hobby" projects with only one person (myself) working on the project. Does anyone have any suggestions? Ideally it should interface with Visual Studio either naively or through another plug-in, outside of that, anything that works would be nice to be replace Gmail as source...
There are so many examples of how to set up your dotnet projects but none seemed to fit our situation. We have one solution with multiple applications, multiple dependencies. We're on SourceSafe currently and are planning to move to subversion but are finding it difficult to organize our source the right way. Example solution App1 ...
At the moment we use Visual SourceSafe for our source control, my colleague wants to migrate to Subversion but I am not entirely convinced yet. I have investigated it before and had some serious issues that appear to have been resolved now which is great, but I have one main issue with it and that is the concept of Commit/Merge. I reall...
I asked a couple of coworkers about AnkhSVN and neither one of them was happy with it. One of them went as far as saying that AnkhSVN has messed up his devenv several times. What's your experience with AnkhSVN? I really miss having an IDE integrated source control tool. ...
Following Jeff's article about checking in often, some commenters couldn't resist spewing "Welcome to obvious land!" kind of comments. That's understandable, in most situation it's obvious that checking in as soon as something is finished before proceeding to the next feature is the way to go. But what about places with strongly enforce...
