SVN/Subversion and CodePlex: for now stick to SVN/TortoiseSVN 1.7.x or lower

Posted by jpluimers on 2013/07/25

Introduction

Over the last month or so, two incompatibilities between SVN and CodePlex have risen. I’m not sure which side caused it (see below for the error messages), who will fix it and when. Some details I bumped into.

CodePlex knows about both issue. I’m not sure the SVN team does yet about the second issue.

Recommendation

If you are using CodePlex with SVN/SubVersion, then you shoud stick to SVN versions lower than 1.8, or you will run into the error messages below.

So:

  • Stick to version 1.7.x or lower of SVN and/or TortoiseSVN.
  • DO NOT UPGRADE YOUR LOCAL CHECKOUT TO 1.8 OR HGHER!
    (you cannot downgrade your local checkout to a lower version)

You can find older 1.7.x versions of SVN here:

SvnBridge – Use TortoiseSVN with Team Foundation Server: issues with accented characters and escapes

Posted by jpluimers on 2012/10/05

Until bugs in the link below get fixed, when using SvnBridge to talk SVN to TFS:

  • don’t use non ASCII characters in your path names
  • don’t use escapes

This include SVN usage on codeplex.

git-tfs

Posted by jpluimers on 2012/09/19

Interesting:

git-tfs is a two-way bridge between TFS and git, similar to git-svn.

Need to check out if it is more like the SVNBridge wrapper that wraps SVN around TFS on either the server or the client, or like git-svn which wraps git around SVN only around the client.

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).

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.

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.

Tortoise SVN Global Ignore Pattern for Delphi and Visual Studio

Posted by jpluimers on 2011/04/26

Since I use (among others) both Visual Studio and Delphi, I changed the Tortoise Global Ignore Pattern to be this:

Debug lib *.identcache *.local *bin *obj RECYCLER Bin *.user *.suo *.dcu __history ModelSupport_* *.rsm thumbs.db *.bak *.~* __recovery *.tvsconfig *.o *.lo *.la *.al .libs *.so *.so.[0-9]* *.a *.pyc *.pyo *.rej *~ #*# .#* .*.swp .DS_Store

The bold portion is what I changed when compared to the original one:

*.o *.lo *.la *.al .libs *.so *.so.[0-9]* *.a *.pyc *.pyo *.rej *~ #*# .#* .*.swp .DS_Store

Input from [WayBack] Tortoise SVN Global Ignore Pattern for Visual Studio (which also included some of the Delphi patterns), [WayBack] this Stackoverflow question (that indicated the patterns are case sensitive) and [WayBack] Shawn Oster | TortoiseSVN global ignore pattern for Visual Studio and Delphi.

–jeroen

PS: Added __recovery as Delphi 10.* started to use that for recovery files, which – unlike __history  is not documented, see [WayBack] What is the __recovery folder ? In C++ Seattle 10 Professional running under Win 7 I now get a folder called __recovery.

SvnBridge – Fiddler2 debug the TortoiseSVN traphic to Team Foundation Server

Posted by jpluimers on 2011/03/15

The link below shows you how to use Fiddler2 to trace how TortoiseSVN communicates with SVN Bridge.

TortoiseSVN is a well known SVN client that nicely integrates with the Windows Explorer shell.

SvnBridge sits on top of TFS so that you can use Subversion clients against Team Foundation System.

The settings are so that only the TortoiseSVN requests are captures.

Basically the trick is to start Fiddler2, have it stop capturing WinINET traffic, then modify the TortoiseSVN uses Fiddler2 as HTTP proxy.

Here are the details: SvnBridge – Use TortoiseSVN with Team Foundation Server.

Hope this helps a few of you debugging the TortoiseSVN path to SvnBridge.
