In my last post I had shared a few tips on subversion addressing issues that I felt were challenging. To add to that list I would like to share a few more. One of the most common issues that I had encountered (while working with subversion and TortoiseSVN) is that the working copies stop displaying the shell overlays (icons), and sometimes a few icons may appear and the other icons might not. The Windows explorer sometimes ignores refresh notifications. The reason behind such behavior is too many application notifications that can jam TortoiseSVN. So to avoid this, the explorer sometimes ignores … LEARN MORE »

I recently had to work on multiple issues simultaneously. After resolving the first issue I realized that I had committed the changes to a wrong branch. My challenge was to remove these changes from the code before further damage happens and that too in a quick time. I had few options in mind to resolve the situation; I can either remove all my changes in my next commit or revert back my mistaken commit. The best possible way I felt was to go with my second option i.e. undo my mistaken commit. Here are some tips on subversion to illustrate … LEARN MORE »

April 5, 2013

Apache Subversion 1.7.9 and 1.6.21 have been released. Among the normal set of bug fixes in the release are several fixes for security vulnerabilities. A list of all of the vulnerabilities and their details are available on the Subversion security page: http://subversion.apache.org/security/ I would encourage you to read the details of each vulnerability so that you can assess the risk for your environment. My take on these items is that they are all on the Low/Medium end of the spectrum. There are not any of the higher risk vulnerabilities such as arbitrary code execution or privilege escalation included. Generally speaking, … LEARN MORE »

Support sees quite a few issues, and while impossible to solve everything immediately (or through a blog I may be writing), I’ve found some common issues that you may encounter while wrangling code on CloudForge: – TeamForge login: Do you have a long domain name? While we mention that you must use the ‘domain_username’ structure for logging in, what you might not know is that we’ll truncate login names longer than 32 characters. For example: if I have the organization ‘excellentbusinessorganization’ and my username is ‘jesseyowell’, you will see under the TeamForge login page that your login name may be … LEARN MORE »

This post discusses Apache Subversion features which are available in the development codebase at the time of writing but which have not yet been published in an official release and may change prior to such a release. I’ve made neither apologies about nor attempts to hide the fact that I adore Subversion’s sparse checkouts functionality. The moment that feature became available, I reorganized my local Subversion-versioned projects from a scattered mess of thirty or so disparate trunk and branch working copies into a single working copy per project, rooted at the project’s root directory and sparsely populated from there.
