I use TortoiseSVN 1.7.9. How can I ignore / remove contents from /bin folder when I svn commit the project folder? I don't want to commit files such as .dll , .pdb , etc. I put .dll .pdb entry in svn:ignore property but it does not work and these files still show up in the list when I perform a commit. I don't use command line client. In Windows Explorer I right-click on root project folder and click commit in TortoiseSVN context menu. You can find the answer in the TortoiseSVN manual and SVNBook . TortoiseSVN Manual tells us: If the files are already in the repository, they have to be deleted

I want to use Tortoise SVN diff utility with TFS. I know how to configure user tools in TFS. What I need is installer for Tortoise SVN diff utility. I think I need to install full Tortoise SVN to get SVN diff tool, is there a standalone version of this tool available for download? I know various other diff tools are available like winMerge etc. but I am very much familiar with tortoise svn diff. The TSVN diff tools are available separately. See the download page , scroll down to "Tools". Or directly from here . Dan If you want to use Tortoise Merge with TFS. You need to install Tortoise SVN .

Does TortoiseSVN Revision Graph draw a line from Branch back to the Trunk when I finish a "Merge"? Taking a branch is a copy operation (which is very cheap in svn) and it looks obvious in the logs that is what happened, hence the line. It's obvious (to svn/tortioiseSVN) because you can't make a branch without taking every single artefact from the trunk at the revision you chose. That's why a line is always shown - making a branch is guaranteed to take all your files from the trunk into your branch. Merging back in is different, you can selectively merge in whatever you want . Merging back in

I'm checking out files that have Linux style line endings (just LF char). When I check out a file with TortoiseSVN in Windows, it converts the line endings to Windows style (CR+LF). I've tried adding the lines to the subversion config file to force it to use LF, and yes, I did set the enable-auto-props = yes. This doesn't work, and even if it did, it's not exactly what I want, because I'd rather have TSVN simply not touch the files. Just copy them as is. David W. As others have pointed out, you need to set the svn:eol-style property. This property can have three values: LF : Set end-of-lines

I ignored a file in TortoiseSVN by mistake. How do I reverse this and add the file to my repository? Martin v. Löwis Just edit the svn:ignore property (in the subversion tab of the directory properties). (If you ignored a subfolder, select the property tab of it's parent folder) If you right click on the directory containing the file and select SVN Properties, you should see an svn:ignore property with a list of ignored files. Simply edit that list and remove the rule ignoring your file. Frank Bollack "Ignoring Files And Directories" from the Tortoise SVN documentation states: If you want to

What Subversion (SVN) Server would recommend a newbie get started on the Windows Server OS? I think I'll be using TortoiseSVN on the client and will be doing .NET development mostly. UPDATE: Great advice. I'm picking my answer based on votes. I will try VisualSVN and CollabNet. Please read chyne's answer which I thought was really good too (+1). I'll try that method out too. I'll come back to this question in a week or two an update with my thoughts in the comments. I use VisualSVN server and find it really easy to setup and use. Also if you're doing .NET development, look into AnkhSVN for

I am trying to add files to an SVN repository using TortoiseSVN 1.8.1. I right click on the files and select TortoiseSVN->Add. I then select all the files in the window that pops up and click OK. Upon clicking OK, another dialog box pops up and all the files appear to be successfully added because it says "Added" next to each file and finally it says "Completed!" at the bottom. I click OK, and then right click on the parent directory and click "Commit". I fill out the message box and ensure that all the files I added are checked and they all say "added" under "status". Finally, I click "OK". A

How can I search if a file named foo.txt was ever committed to my svn repository (in any revision)? Martijn Laarman Right click on the checked out folder's root > TortoiseSVN > Show Log You can enter file names just as well there. This should work for you: svn log -r 0:HEAD -v $REPOSITORY_PATH | grep "/foo.txt" This will give you the paths to the files and the state from the log. If you get any hits, you know it existed at some point. If you get no results, there is nothing matching anywhere in the repository at any revision. You'll also see the states from each log line, e.g.: A /some/path

How do I delete a branch in TortoiseSVN? Can I simply delete the working copy of the branch and the folder in the repository? Should the local working copy of the branch first be deleted, or the branch folder through the Repository Browser be removed? Right click on any folder, select "Repo-browser" and find your branch on the left panel. From there, you can issue a "Delete" command directly on the repository. As far as I know, you cannot issue a delete command on the top folder* of the working copy, probably because that would effectively destroy the working copy. (*) You can of course remove

I'd like to try out a distributed revision control system. I use a couple Windows PCs, a couple PCs with Linux, and a Mac. On windows, I'd like to use Tortoise. Are any of the Tortoises other than TortoiseSVN any good? Until recently, the knock against them has been that they are slow and buggy, but it seems like there's a new push to get them solid. I'd rather not have to try out all three. Anyone make the switch lately and have a good experience? I've been using TortoiseGit for a while. Whilst it's true that git's performance suffers on windows, it's going to be perfectly acceptable in most
