For GIT/Mercurial users: SourceTree for Windows 1.6.1 – Now Available! (via: SourceTree Blog)

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/08/20

via the SourceTree for Windows 1.6 – Now Available! | SourceTree Blog.

Make sure you download the 1.6.1 version as that is really the latest:

SourceTree 1.6

Enhancements

  • All new file status view
  • Improved diff view
  • New view configurations
  • Cleaner user interface
  • All new welcome wizard

SourceTree 1.6.1

Bugfixes

  • SRCTREEWIN-1902: Fix crash bug when trying to create a new repo from hosted repos screen
  • SRCTREEWIN-1915: Fix a rare crash bug which could happen when closing/re-opening a repository
  • SRCTREEWIN-1894: Staging/unstaging will get ‘stuck’ and not refresh the file list if you turn on ‘always display full console output’ when performing these operations. The refreshing now happens regardless of whether that option is turned on or not.
  • SRCTREEWIN-1897: Fix a crash bug when listing Stash repos from hosted repos list.
  • Confirming removing files now shows the file names in a list so you know which files you’re removing
  • SRCTREEWIN-1909: Can now commit files if committing individually even if they’re at the root and not using staging (so either Mercurial, or no staging mode in Git)

Some notes/links on Git-TF: the GIT/TFS bridge

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/06/05

TFS 2012 Update 2 and up can do GIT or TFS (now called TFVC for Team Server Version Control). It was improved in TFS 2013, but still it leaves two small problems:

  1. It cannot host the same repository as both GIT and TFVC.
  2. It cannot conver from GIT to TFVC or back.

Luckily there are two tools that can help: GIT TF and GIT TFS.

GIT TF  (now forked on github a few times) is a way to bridge TFS and GIT. It is different from GIT TFS (that only runs on Windows, it is provided by Microsoft).

You can use both for instance to move GIT to/from TFS, or to compare or leverage GIT against TFS Express and Team Foundation Service which are both free for up to 5 developers. A few notes and some more links: Read the rest of this entry »

Team Foundation Server Express and Team Foundation Service: some links

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/06/04

I know covering TFS 2012 has been in the blog queue for way too long (:

A few links:

PS: Nowadays, Team Foundation Service is called “Visual Studio Online”. But many people still call it TFS. See www.visualstudio.com

Enabling HgFlow in SourceTree for Windows: “abort: No module named ConfigParser!” error message with “flow: Flow was already initialized for workspace:”

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/02/20

When you get the below error when adding an HgGlow with SourceTree, then do one of these:

Short error message:

hg flow -y -f init
abort: No module named ConfigParser!

Full error message (the middle line is funny “flow: Flow was already initialized for workspace:”):


hg flow -y -f init
abort: No module named ConfigParser!
flow: Flow was already initialized for workspace:
Completed with errors, see above.

Ultimately, hgflow should fix yinwm / hgflow / issues / #8 – Failing on Windows Binary version, but they haven’t for almost 3 years now.

git index.lock File exists when I try to commit (via: Stack Overflow)

Posted by jpluimers on 2013/12/29

I had this occur a few times over the last couple of weeks.

The solution is to delete the index.lock file, but I’m not sure if more steps are needed to verify repository content.

Anyone?

Development tools should become more version control friendly, and version control tools more whitespace tolerant

Posted by jpluimers on 2013/11/28

There are a few more messages in the “Missed Schedule” backlog, and I really hope that WordPress is going to address this really annoying bug soon as I have to recheck my blog multiple times a day now.

Back on topic:

Development tools should become more version control friendly, and version control tools more whitespace tolerant

I’m taking Delphi and Bitbucket here as an example, but this holds for many more development tools and version control tools.

Ultimately, you want changes to be as simple as this one: only the relevant changed lines show up as an actual change.

But often changes include convoluted non-relevant information.

A few things development tools should not do: Read the rest of this entry »
