[dba-VB] Mercurial vs. SVN

Hi Shamil

That's beyond my experience. I only have had to exclude a few files (after they were created) and that worked fine. The patterns, I think, try to exclude files before creation.

Hi Gustav --

OK.
tryig to use this info here

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/85353/best-general-svn-ignore-pattern 

still not sure  how to make it working properly - tried via
SVN->[Properties] but it somehow didn't work well...

As for SVN and Mercurial and Northwind.CodePlex.com - I'm going to "cross"
them:

- I do use Mercurial locally but
- in the next release on codeplex I do plan to commit Mercuarial repository
entries within source code, so the one who uses SVN - will use it, then one
who use Mercurial - will use it.

That's a plan. I do not see why it can break. I could be missing something.
I do plan to make a new "crossed" release on Northwind.codeplex.com this
week.


Thank you.

Hi Shamil

I don't know about these details of TortoiseSVN - I just used it for the
Northwind project and never had any trouble - and stayed off the command
line.

Thanks for the tip (for Mercurial hosting) at bitbucket. However, I think I
stay with TortoiseSVN and/or VisualSVN as they have worked fine for me.

Hi Gustav --

Thank you for your note.
I should probably install newer version.
But the one I have does support the feature of ignoring/making local
individual files (filenames patterns) and *whole* folders.
That is useful but that's not what I'm looking for/what exists in Mercurial
it has more powerful feature to keep ignore list.

BTW, SVN does inform that it added file/folder to the ignore list - is it
possible to edit that list manually? If yes, where it's located? - I can
find it - maybe you just know it from memory/used it: in Mercurial I usually
just have a generic ignore list, which I'm putting in every new repository I
create and then I'm adding specific files/filenames templates to that ignore
list.
Gustav, it's not a big issue - I can find my way using SVN via command lines
- mainly wondering if I can skip making a batch which will use command line
interface of SVN to "clean-up" local repository from some files/folders
before committing it...

BTW, https://bitbucket.org/ has an option of free unlimited code
repositories up to 5 users...
I haven't used it yet but I do plan to put all my important source code
mirrored there in private code repository...

Thank you.

Hi Shamil

That's a very old version, current version is 1.6.something.

The trick is the Shift key. From the help file:

Hold the Shift key to get the extended context menu and select TortoiseSVN
and Delete (keep local) to mark the file/folder for deletion from the
repository without losing the local copy.

Hi All --

Does SVN support "ignore list" as Mercurial does? (I wanted to exclude
binaries and some other files from add/commit batch without going through
all of added/updated items manually every time on commit).
I do use Tortoise SVN v.1.4.5, and I do not see "ignore list feature" - does
Tortoise SVN 1.4.7 support this feature?
Or can I define ignore list somehow else when working with SVN?

Thank you.
