Great post on the differences between TFS, SVN, CVS and other source code management systems, ideas on Trunk/Tag/Branch

Posted by jpluimers on 2012/07/19

When switching between different source code management systems for doing version control at clients, it is always a bit of “getting used” to the mantra of both their system, and how it has been implemented.

Few people can really explain this well.

Richard Berg did in his great StackOverflow answer sharing his ideas on how to handle Trunk/Branch/Tag (for people starting with SVN, read this answer by David Schmitt before you mix them up).

I still see truckloads of people, and even teams try to do without version control. Please do use source control. If you don’t know where to get started, read some text on Source Control for beginners, or for instance the free on-line Red Bean books on SVN, Mercurial or CVS.

Also read some other great answers by Richard Berg (many on TFS, but also this very balanced view on usage of nullable in languages and proper use of Invoke-Expression in PowerShell: recommended reading).

TFS – Undelete File or Folder – brilliantly easy from the Visual Studio IDE: just enable “Show deleted items in the Source Control Explorer”

Posted by jpluimers on 2012/06/19

Never knew it was so brilliantly easy to undelete files from TFS: you can do it in Visual Studio, by enabling “Show deleted items in the Source Control Explorer” in the settings.

Just look at TFS – Undelete File or Folder for the screen shots.

Not sure in which Visual Studio version this got introduced, but it works in VS 2010 and up.

Some research links on “change assemblyversion during checkin ccnet” – via Google Search

Posted by jpluimers on 2012/05/15

(Thanks to a “Missed Post” problem on WordPress.com, this one didn’t get posted on the scheduled date. Sorry for any inconvenience)

One of the next steps in the automated build process I’m setting up is increasing AssemblyVersion values after succesful builds.

It is is in a CCnet / TFS2010 / VS2010 environment.

Some links:

CodePlex TFS 2010 login: prefix login with “snd\” domain and suffix username with “_cp” (via Ahmed Al-Asaad’s Blog)

Posted by jpluimers on 2012/01/18

I keep forgetting this:

When logging in to CodePlex using TFS, then you need to prefix your username with “snd\” and suffix it with “_cp“.

So if your CodePlex username is wiert, then your login becomes snd\wiert_cp.

Somehow, this used to be more prominently on the codeplex site, but it isn’t any more.

Added a few links to my “Tools” page, @WordPress bug spuriously inserting div tags still present.

Posted by jpluimers on 2011/12/28

While re-designing a Visual Studio 2010 plus Delphi XE2 install for a specific client, I updated some of my Tools page links:

And found out that the WordPress still wrongly inserts div tags when you step out a list by pressing Enter twice is still present. Annoying, as it has been there for at least 2 years, so I’m still interesting in people having a workaround for it.

svn – How do I move a file or folder from one folder to another in TortoiseSVN? – Stack Overflow

Posted by jpluimers on 2011/12/21

Duh – sometimes simple things are simple, you just have to know how simple: move it using the right mouse click as Mark Embling answers on StackOverflow.

tortoisegit – Porting TortoiseSVN to TortoiseGIT – Google Project Hosting

Posted by jpluimers on 2011/10/26

This should be the first line on the TortoiseGITS home page; I always keep forgetting this step at new installations:

Please install msysgit 1.6.1 or above before install tortoisegit http://code.google.com/p/msysgit

SVN 1.7, TortoiseSVN and CollabNet 2.1.0 released earlier this week

Posted by jpluimers on 2011/10/14

Right after the Subversion SVN 1.7 release earlier this week, 3rd party providers announced new versions of their products too.

These are the updates of the ones I use most often:

Two major improvements for me:

  1. Improved meta data (read: only one .svn directory in the root of a working copy)
  2. Faster HTTP speed

Please also read Uwe Schuster‘s (the guy that implemented the version control integration for SVN and Git in the Delphi IDE) blog post on a few things you need to watch when upgrading to Tortoise SVN 1.7.

Some links on Serena Dimensions DMCLI command-line usage

Posted by jpluimers on 2011/06/29

A client uses Serena Dimensions, and though the Windows and Web clients are very usable (the 2009 version actually feels a lot faster than version 8), often it is nice to do some of the work on the command-line.

They have the DMCLI tool for with documentation, but that is not available on-line.
There is not a lot of on-line DMCLI documentation available, so here are some links I used to get going:
