I used VisualSVN until Ankh hit 2.0, and ever since, I&#39;ve abandoned VisualSVN. Ankh has surpassed VisualSVN in functionality, in my mind, and all the 1.x perf and integration issues are gone.

I recently tried Ankh but quickly switched back to VisualSVN. Because:

 - Better commit dialog (use UI of tortoise)
 -  No refresh problems (which i had using ankh)
Imho visual svn is easilty worth its money





For me, VisualSVN is pretty, but useless. AnkhSvn on the other hand, after it came in v2 as an scc provider, it works very good.
VisualSVN tries to think for you, which is not an good thing, the user should be the controller, not the software.

The main thing is that VisualSVN uses TortoiseSVN for nearly all of its UI. So you only really have to set up one client (preferred diff viewer, etc), and you can take advantage of things like the same &quot;Previous messages&quot; button on the Commit dialog, whether you&#39;re committing from Explorer or Visual Studio.

I&#39;ve just started learning Lisp and I can&#39;t figure out how to compile and link lisp code to an executable.

I&#39;m using `clisp` and `clisp -c` produces two files:

- .fas
- .lib

What do I do next to get an executable?

Lisp Executable

In Java, there is no such thing as an unsigned byte.

Working with some low level code, occasionally you need to work with bytes that have unsigned values greater than 128, which causes Java to interpret them as a negative number due to the MSB being used for sign.

What&#39;s a good way to work around this? (Saying don&#39;t use Java is not an option)

What is the best way to work around the fact that ALL Java bytes are signed?

I currently use AnkhSVN to integrate subversion into Visual Studio. Is there any reason I should switch to VisualSVN?

AnkhSVN is free (in more than one sense of the word) while VisualSVN costs $50. So right there unless I&#39;m missing some great feature of VisualSVN I don&#39;t see any reason to switch.

How do you turn a Visual Studio build that you&#39;d perform in the IDE into a script that you can run from the command line?


How do you automate a Visual Studio build?

I have a .exe and many plug-in .dll modules that the .exe loads. (I have source for both.) A cross-platform (with source) solution would be ideal, but the platform can be narrowed to WinXP and Visual Studio (7.1/2003 in my case).

The built-in VS leak detector only gives the line where new/malloc was called from, but I have a wrapper for allocations, so a full symbolic stack trace would be best.

The detector would also be able to detect for a leak in both the .exe and its accompanying plug-in .dll modules.

What is the best free memory leak detector for a C/C++ program and its plug-in DLLs?

I had a plugin installed in Visual Studio 2008, and it created some extra dockable windows.  I have uninstalled it, and I can&#39;t get rid of the windows it created - I close them, but they always come back.  They&#39;re just empty windows now, since the plugin is no longer present, but nothing I&#39;ve tried gets rid of them.  I&#39;ve tried:

* Window -&gt; Reset Window Layout
* Deleting the .suo files in my project directories
* Deleting the Visual Studio 9.0 folder in my Application Settings directory

Any ideas?

How do I REALLY reset the Visual Studio window layout?

If I open a solution in Visual Studio 2008 and run a unit test then VS creates a new .vsmdi file in the Solution Items folder and gives it the next number available e.g. My Solution2.vsmdi.

Any idea why VS is doing this and how I can get it to stop doing this?

Why does Visual Studio create a new .vsmdi file?

I frequently work with multiple instances of Visual Studio, often working on different branches of the same solution.

[Visual C++ 6.0][1] used to display the full path of the current source file in its title bar, but Visual&amp;nbsp;Studio 2005 doesn&#39;t appear to do this. This makes it slightly more awkward than it should be to work out which branch of the solution I&#39;m currently looking at (the quickest way I know of is to hover over a tab so you get the source file&#39;s path as a tooltip).

Is there a way to get the full solution or file path into the title bar, or at least somewhere that&#39;s always visible, so I can quickly tell which branch is loaded into each instance?

Display solution/file path in the Visual Studio IDE

It happens to me all the time. I accidentally version a file, I do not want to be versioned (i.e. developer/machine specific config-files).

If I commit this file, I will mess up the paths on all the other developer machines - they will be unhappy.

If I do delete the file from versioning, it will be deleted from the other developers machines - they will be unhappy.

If I choose to never commit the file, I always have a &quot;dirty&quot; checkout - I am unhappy.

Is a clean way to &quot;unversion&quot; a file from revision-control, that will result in no-one being unhappy?

edit: trying to clarify a bit: I have already commited the file to the repository and I want to only remove it from versioning - I specifically do not want it to be physically deleted from everyone doing a checkout. I initially wanted it to be ignored.

Answer: If I could accept a second answer, it would be [this][1]. It answers my question with respect to git - the accepted answer is about svn.

How to &quot;unversion&quot; a file in either svn and/or git

I&#39;m new to SVN and I&#39;d like to know what methods are available for backing up repositories in a Windows environment?

SVN repository backup strategies

When I try to do any svn command and supply the `--username` and/or `--password` options, it prompts me for my password anyways, and always will attempt to use my current user instead of the one specified by `--username`. Neither `--no-auth-cache` nor `--non-interactive` have any effect on this. This is a problem because I&#39;m trying to call svn commands from a script, and I can&#39;t have it show the prompt.

For example, logged in as user1:

    # $ svn update --username &#39;user2&#39; --password &#39;password&#39;
    # user1@domain.com&#39;s password: 

Other options work correctly:

    # $ svn --version --quiet
    # 1.3.2

Why does it prompt me?&lt;br&gt;
And why is it asking for user1&#39;s password instead of user2&#39;s?&lt;br&gt;
I&#39;m 99% sure all of my permissions are set correctly. Is there some config option for svn that switches off command-line passwords?&lt;br&gt;
Or is it something else entirely?

I&#39;m running svn 1.3.2 (r19776) on Fedora Core 5 (Bordeaux).

Subversion ignoring &quot;--password&quot; and &quot;--username&quot; options

Let&#39;s say I have committed some bad changes to Subversion repository. Then I commit good changes, that I want to keep.

What would be easiest way to roll back those bad changes in Eclipse, and keep the good changes? Assuming that files relating to bad changes are not same as those relating to the good changes. How things change if good changes were made to same files as bad changes?

I am mostly looking a way to do this via Eclipse plugins (Subclipse or Subversive) but commandline commands are also interesting.



Rolling back bad changes with svn in Eclipse

I just saw a really cool WPF twitter client that I think is developed by the Herding Code podcast guys [HerdingCode][1] called [Witty][2].  (or at least, I see a lot of those guys using this client).  This project is currently posted up on Google Code.

Many of the projects on Google Code use Subversion as the version control system (including Witty).  Having never used Subversion, I&#39;m not sure what to do to download the code.  

On the source page for this project ([google code witty source][3]) it gives the following instruction:

**Non-members may check out a read-only working copy anonymously over HTTP.** &lt;br&gt;
***svn checkout http://wittytwitter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ wittytwitter-read-only*** 

I&#39;m confused as to where I am supposed to enter the above command so that I can download the code.

I have installed SVN and Tortoise (which I know almost nothing about).  

Thanks for any help or simply pointing me in the right direction.

Say a development team includes (or makes use of) graphic artists who create all the images that go into a product.  Such things include icons, bitmaps, window backgrounds, button images, animations, etc.

Obviously, everything needed to build a piece of software should be under some form of version control.  But most version control systems for developers are designed primarily for text-based information.  Should the graphics people use the same version-control system and repository that the coders do?  If not, what should they use, and what is the best way to keep everything synchronized?


Version Control for Graphics

I am in charge of about 100+ documents (word document, not source code) that needs revision by different people in my department. Currently all the documents are in a shared folder where they will retrieve, revise and save back into the folder. 

What I am doing now is looking up the &quot;date modified&quot; in the shared folder, opened up recent modified documents and use the &quot;Track Change&quot; function in MS Word to apply the changes. I find this a bit tedious.

So will it be better and easier if I commit this in a version control database?

Basically I want to keep different version of a file.

&lt;hr&gt;
What have I learn from answers:

  - Use Time Machine to save different
    version (or Shadow copy in Vista)
    
  - There is a difference between text
    and binary documents when you use
    version control app. (I didn&#39;t know
    that)
    
  - Diff won&#39;t work on binary files

  - A notification system (ie email) for revision is great

  - Google Docs revision feature.

**Update** : 

I played around with Google Docs revision feature and feel that it is almost right for me. Just a bit annoyed with the too frequent versioning (autosaving). 

But what feels right for me doesn&#39;t mean it feels right for my dept. Will they be okay with saving all these documents with Google? 



Is version control (ie. Subversion) applicable in document tracking?

I&#39;d like to rollback a change I made recently in TFS. In Subversion, this was pretty straightforward.  However, it seems to be an incredible headache in TFS:

### Option 1: Get Prior Version
 1. Manually get prior version of each file
 2. Check out for edit
 3. Fail - the checkout (in VS2008) forces me to get the latest version


### Option 2: Get TFS Power Tools
 1. Download Team Foundation Power Tools
 2. Issue rollback command from cmd line
 3. Fail - it won&#39;t work if there are any other pending changes

### Option 3: Manually Undo Changes

 1. manually undo my changes, then commit a new changeset


### Question
How do I rollback to a previous changeset in TFS?

How do I rollback a TFS check-in?

I&#39;m developing a web using subversion as version control, but got &quot;working directory locked&quot; error message

Here&#39;s the story:

I have 

PC-A:

 - Windows XP Pro 
 - VisualSVN 2.5.2
 - Tortoise SVN 1.7.3

PC-B:

 - Windows XP Home
 - Tortoise SVN 1.7.3

I have create repository on PC-A using VisualSVN. 

From PC-B, I Checkout http:\\\PC-A:81\svn\test\trunk to D:\xampp\htdocs\test-lalala. 

From PC-A, I also checkout http:\\\PC-A:81\svn\test\trunk to D:\xampp\htdocs\test-lalala. 

I Create a post-commit hooks running  my-post-commit.bat file so when I commit to http:\\\PC-A:81\svn\test\trunk, folder D:\xampp\htdocs\test-lalalaon PC-A will updated, so other people can see the result.

    
    &quot;C:\Program Files\VisualSVN Server\bin\svn.exe&quot; update &quot;D:\xampp\htdocs\test-lalala&quot; --username myusername --password mypassword --config-dir &quot;C:\Program Files\VisualSVN Server\conf&quot; 


On PC-B, Create index.php file, and commit. When I commit, I get this error message

![error message][1]

On PC-A, I try to right-click on D:\xampp\htdocs\test-lalala TortoiseSVN &gt; CleanUp, and check &quot;cleanup working copy status&quot; and &quot;Include externals&quot; (checked by default). Try to add file and commit, but still got the same error message.

I try to look for lock file on .svn folder but there are no lock file. I also try to delete working copy on PC-A D:\xampp\htdocs\test-lalala and checkout again, but when I commit, still got the same error message.

How to solve this error message? So when I commit, the folder will updated automatically ?

Working Copy Locked

I&#39;ve got a Visual Studio C# project which is under version control (SVN).
I&#39;ve always commited and updated the project without any problems. But a couple of hours ago Visual Studio throws the following error when I try to launch/rebuild the project:

&gt; Files has invalid value &quot;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;
&gt; .mine&quot;. Illegal characters in path.

I don&#39;t know how to fix this problem. What should I do?

SVN keeps corrupting files with &quot;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt; .mine&quot;, how to fix?

We have a really big solution with more than 200 projects and thousands of files. Despite of that the solution used to load pretty quickly in Visual Studio 2010 as well as 2012. However, after copying the whole SVN repository to another location, loading and closing the solution suddenly took extreeeemly long. (I am talking about 30-60 minutes here!)

Why does it take sooo long to load my solution in Visual Studio?

I have installed Visual studio 2013 , and I have installed AnkhSvn-2.5.12266.msi for svn, but this &quot;Add-On&quot; is not available in Visual Studio. Why?
