I think you want to use a .gitignore file in your top-level directory. This will work if you put &quot;.svn/entries&quot; on a line in that file. You might just put &quot;.svn&quot; instead of &quot;.svn/entries&quot; as well.

EDIT: See comments. If they files are already being tracked by git, they&#39;ll always show up in `git status`.

This thread has the correct answer:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/971465/git-ignore-certain-files-contained-in-specific-folders

What you really need is:

    .svn*

Put &quot;.svn&quot; in a `~/.gitexcludes` file. Then tell git about it:

    echo &#39;.svn&#39; &gt; ~/.gitexcludes
    git config --global core.excludesfile &quot;/home/USER_NAME/.gitexcludes&quot;

(Make sure you change USER_NAME so it points to your home directory)

This following structure and .gitignore contents worked for me&lt;/br&gt;

* \\.git
* \\.svn
* \\.gitignore

### .gitignore contents ###

    .svn/
    .gitignore

Do what `Casey` suggests, except name the file `.gitignore` and put it in the root of your git repo.

I also like to do a `attrib +h .gitignore` so it won&#39;t show up in my explorer windows.

if you want to keep the svn directory.

you may run the following first:

    for dir in $(find ./ -type d -name \*.svn); do git rm --cached  -r $dir; done;

and then run `echo &quot;.svn&quot; &gt;&gt;.gitignore`   in the root directory  

since every versioned folder has a .svn directory you have to put:


\*/.svn/\*



I am trying to make a method that will go through a list of generic objects and replace all their properties of type `string` which is either `null` or empty with a replacement.

How is a good way to do this?

I have this kind of... shell... so far:

    public static void ReplaceEmptyStrings&lt;T&gt;(List&lt;T&gt; list, string replacement)
    {
        var properties = typeof(T).GetProperties( -- What BindingFlags? -- );

        foreach(var p in properties)
        {
            foreach(var item in list)
            {
                if(string.IsNullOrEmpty((string) p.GetValue(item, null)))
                    p.SetValue(item, replacement, null);
            }
        }
    }

So, how do I find all the properties of a type that are:

- Of type `string`
- Has public `get`
- Has public `set`

  ?

---

I made this test class:

    class TestSubject
    {
        public string Public;
        private string Private;

        public string PublicPublic { get; set; }
        public string PublicPrivate { get; private set; }
        public string PrivatePublic { private get; set; }
        private string PrivatePrivate { get; set; }
    }

The following does not work:

    var properties = typeof(TestSubject)
            .GetProperties(BindingFlags.Instance|BindingFlags.Public)
            .Where(&#248; =&gt; &#248;.CanRead &amp;&amp; &#248;.CanWrite)
            .Where(&#248; =&gt; &#248;.PropertyType == typeof(string));

If I print out the Name of those properties I get there, I get:
&gt;PublicPublic
PublicPrivate
PrivatePublic

In other words, I get two properties too much.

***Note**: This could probably be done in a better way... using nested foreach and reflection and all here... but if you have any great alternative ideas, please let me know cause I want to learn!*

C#: How to get all public (both get and set) string properties of a type

We have this software that has a webservices component.

Now, the administrator of this system has come to me, wanting to import data into the system by using the webservices component.

So, I went to read the documentation to try to figure this thing out and I am seeing things like this:

&lt;strike&gt;&lt;hr/&gt;[Click here to see what I&#39;m talking about (this looks best in firefox, chrome, &amp; safari)][1]&lt;hr/&gt;&lt;/strike&gt;

That documentation gives examples of interacting with the system using HTTP verbs such as GET, POST, PUT, DELETE. But in my limited experience, I have never had to send neither an HTTP PUT nor a DELETE.

How do you do it? I have built HTML forms that have method=&quot;post&quot; or method=&quot;get&quot; and the request is sent to whatever is specified in the action attribute (action=&quot;someResource&quot;). But I don&#39;t really know what to do with this PUT thing.

If I had to guess, I would have to build an application that creates some sort of an HTTP Request object and set all the properties of it and somehow include the data I want to PUT to the RESOURCE (&lt;strike&gt;&lt;hr&gt;[I am trying to use REST terminology, which is something else is very new to me][2]&lt;hr/&gt;&lt;/strike&gt;). Then I would send the request using my programming language and blah blah blah. I am just speculating on this. Please offer up some assistance!

I thought that I was a web developer, since I know things like XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc. but it&#39;s starting to look like I don&#39;t know anything about the foundations of the web at all (HTTP).

## EDIT ##
PS: I program mostly with .net. So, any examples in .net would be pretty awesome.

I&#39;m trying to exclude subversion&#39;s folders from being tracked by git. I tried a couple different setups for .git/info/exclude, but it doesn&#39;t seem to work. I would use git-svn, but it&#39;s a pain to request access to get that to work, so I&#39;d rather just work around this by excluding the folders.

I&#39;m looking for a tool to migrate a couple of SVN repositories to Mercurial, with history, labels and so on.

I&#39;m using TortoiseHg (Windows x32), so ConvertExtensions are discarded. There&#39;s some info on how to do this process on a Linux box ([hgsvn][1]), but I don&#39;t have a Linux machine available.

Can I use those Python scripts on Windows? If so, what do I need to do it? Or, what other tools can I use to do this process?

Basically, how can I convert an SVN project to Mercurial?

I am creating my first project in [Subversion][1]. So far I have

     branches
     tags
     trunk

I think I immediately need to make branches singular and start over.  **Update branches** is the norm.

I have been doing work in trunk and moving the contents to tags as follows.

    mkdir tags/1.0
    cp -rf trunk/* tags/1.0
    svn add tags/1.0
    svn commit -m &quot; create a first tagged version&quot;

My gut tells me this is totally wrong, and I should maintain some relationship between the files using `svn copy`. The files I create in this way will have no relationship to each other, and I am sure I will miss out on Subversion features. Am I correct?

Should I use svn copy for the individual files?

    mkdir tags/1.0
    svn add tags/1.0
    svn copy trunk/file1 tags/1.0
    svn copy trunk/file2 tags/1.0
    svn copy trunk/file3 tags/1.0
    svn commit -m &quot; create a first tagged version&quot;

Should I use svn copy on the entire directory?

    svn copy cp -rf trunk tags/1.0
    svn commit -m &quot; create a first tagged version&quot;

How to properly create an SVN tag from trunk?

I am getting a tilde symbol when I do an &lt;code&gt;svn status&lt;/code&gt;.

Here is the output of the project after editing it in XCode.

    svn status
    M      build/Currency_Converter.build/Currency_Converter.pbxindex/imports.pbxbtree
    M      build/Currency_Converter.build/Currency_Converter.pbxindex/pbxindex.header
    M      build/Currency_Converter.build/Currency_Converter.pbxindex/symbols0.pbxsymbols
    ~      build/Currency_Converter.build/Currency_Converter.pbxindex/strings.pbxstrings
    M      main.m
    //more changed files

Any idea what that means? Can&#39;t seem to find it on google or any of the svn cheat sheets.

Interestingly, I only edited main.m, but there are lots of modified files. I don&#39;t know why that would be. Anyone have any tips for working with SVN and XCode? Should I only be putting my source files under version control?

**Edit:** Caused by a file that was already under version control being replaced by a file of another type. In this case, strings.pbxstrings used to be a file and now became a directory. Moral of the story is don&#39;t put your build folder into version control.

How is that possible?

I am writing a script which will add a new project in the repository, based on the name supplied by the user. Part of this involves checking that an url with the same name does not already exist on the repository.

In the repository, all the projects of our team are stored in

**https://developernetwork.repo.net/svn/Projects/**

Let&#39;s say that the user wants to call the project &quot;Calculator&quot; and runs the script. In this case, we need to ensure that the following does not already exist in the repository

**https://developernetwork.repo.net/svn/Projects/Calculator/**

Is there an svn command which I can use to accomplish that? Unfortunately I cannot see an appropriate command I can use in the svn documentation (http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/svn-book.html) at all.

I want to merge two branches that have been separated for a while and wanted to know which files have been modified.

Came across this link: [http://linux.yyz.us/git-howto.html][1] which was quite useful.

The tools to compare branches I&#39;ve come across are:

 - `git diff master..branch`
 - `git log master..branch`
 - `git shortlog master..branch`

Was wondering if there&#39;s something like &quot;git status master..branch&quot; to only see those files that are different between the two branches.

Without creating a new tool, I think this is the closest you can get to do that now (which of course will show repeats if a file was modified more than once):

 - `git diff master..branch | grep &quot;^diff&quot;`

Was wondering if there&#39;s something I missed...

Showing which files have changed between two revisions

I have a git superproject that references several submodules and I am trying to lock down a workflow for the rest of the my project members to work within.

For this question, lets say my superproject is called `supery` and the submodule is called `subby`. (Then is a simplification of what I&#39;m trying to do...I&#39;m not actually using the branches for versions, but I thought it would be easiest to lay out as a question.)

My master branch of `supery` has the tag `v1.0` of the git project `subby` referenced as a submodule. The branch of `supery` called `one.one` and changed the reference of the submodule to point to the tag `v1.1` of `subby`.

I can work  within each of these branches without a hitch, but if I try to update the `one.one` branch with changes from the `master` branch I receive some conflicts and I don&#39;t how to resolve them.

Basically after running a `git pull . master` while in the `subby` branch, it looks like it creates additional submodules.

Before the pull/merge, I get the desired response from `git submodule` from the `one.one` branch:

    $ git checkout master
    $ git submodule
    qw3rty...321e subby (v1.0)
    $ git checkout one.one
    $ git submodule
    asdfgh...456d subby (v1.1)

But after the pull, it adds additional submodules when I run `git submodule`:

    $ git pull . master
    Auto-merged schema
    CONFLICT (submodule): Merge conflict in subby - needs qu3rty...321e
    Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the results.

    $ git submodule
    qw3rty...321e subby (v1.0)
    asdfgh...456d subby (v1.1)
    zxcvbn...7890 subby (v1.1~1)

How do I delete/ignore the unwanted submodule references and commit my conflicts and changes? Or is there a parameter I can use with my original `git pull` that will ignore my submodules?

I just started using git with github. I followed their instructions and ran into errors on the last step. I&#39;m checking in an existing directory that isn&#39;t currently source-controlled (project about a week old). Other than that, my use case should be pretty run of the mill.

Here&#39;s what&#39;s happening:

    $ git push origin master
    error: src refspec master does not match any.
    fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
    error: failed to push some refs to &#39;git@github.com:{username}/{projectname}.git&#39;

Github&#39;s instructions:

    Global setup:

      Download and install Git
      git config --global user.name &quot;Your Name&quot;
      git config --global user.email {username}@gmail.com
            
    Next steps:

      mkdir projectname
      cd projectname
      git init
      touch README
      git add README
      git commit -m &#39;first commit&#39;
      git remote add origin git@github.com:{username}/{projectname}.git
      git push origin master

I have changes to a file, plus a new file, and would like to use git stash to put them away while I switch to another task.  But git stash by itself stashes only the changes to the existing file; the new file remains in my working tree, cluttering up my future work.  How do I stash this untracked file?

I&#39;m doing a web app, and I need to make a branch for some major changes, the thing is, these changes require changes to the database schema, so I&#39;d like to put the entire database under git as well.

How do I do that? is there a specific folder that I can keep under a git repository? How do I know which one? How can I be sure that I&#39;m putting the right folder?

I need to be sure, because these changes are not backward compatible; I can&#39;t afford to screw up.

The database in my case is PostgreSQL

### Edit:  
Someone suggested taking backups and putting the backup file under version control instead of the database. To be honest, I find that really hard to swallow. 

&lt;strike&gt;There has to be a better way.&lt;/strike&gt;

### Update:

OK, so there&#39; no better way, but I&#39;m still not quite convinced, so I will change the question a bit:

I&#39;d like to put the entire database under version control, what database engine can I use so that I can put the actual database under version control instead of its dump?

Would sqlite be git-friendly?

Since this is only the development environment, I can choose whatever database I want.

### Edit2:

What I really want is not to track my development history, but to be able to switch from my &quot;new radical changes&quot; branch to the &quot;current stable branch&quot; and be able for instance to fix some bugs/issues, etc, with the current stable branch. Such that when I switch branches, the database auto-magically becomes compatible with the branch I&#39;m currently on.
I don&#39;t really care much about the actual data.
