Re: RFE: Add Subversion keyword for year

2011-04-18 Thread Kevin Grover
There are plenty of templating and text replacement programs around. Why not use one of them? IMO, it's feature bloat to try to make svn do everything possible for every person. Do you really want a Copyright notice that reads "Copyright 2008-$Year: 2011 $ FooBar Inc"? I doubt it. $ echo "Copy

It's always a good idea to dump the repository as an additional backup. When upgrading, mostly you can still access old repositories. SOMETIMES they will be silently upgraded in someways - this will not matter if you never access the repo with file:// (or using any older clients/servers). Sometim

If someone wanted this and came up with an 'svn:externals-foreign' (or svn:foreign-externals?) API of some sort, perhaps someone could get figure out a mechanism for coding the steps needed to check out and update those repositories, If so, an 'svn:foreign-externals' system could be generically cr

You could create a custom property on the directory (svn ps glong:released 'WHATEVER INFO YOU WANT') and then and have a pre-commit hook that looks for the present of that property and refuses commits to those directories. You could also set attributes to read-only, but if they can't commit, it re

Re: Why does SVN prompt me for a password every time, after a domain migration?

Subversion caches that stuff in "%APPDATA%\Subversion", I believe in a file called 'auth'. Can't test right now because I'm not on a Windows system at the moment. Perhaps the owner did not get updated and the new domain can't write the the directory/file? You can look around there. Possibly ju

It sounds to me that you need a CMS (Content Management System) more than a VCS (Version Control System, like Subversion). I know from experience that getting veteran programs (used to using no VCS) to use any VCS is an up-hill-battle: approaching a vertical climb at times. I can't imagine trying
