This daily merge is applicable in both Bill's suggested approach and the one I've known (let's call it "no check ins until feature is done"). That poor developer will not check in any changes he/she made to the repository until he/she has it done.įrom time to time the developer should retrieve/merge changes made to the trunk (to his/her working copy) to make sure that he/she gets the changes in increments rather than a whole bunch of merges when he/she finally checks in the code. I haven't had much experience on branching/merging with SVN yet but in the scenario presented in the article where you create a branch when you need to work on new features but maintain fixes on the currently deployed version in production what I've known is that the developer would work on the new features locally while the rest of the team works on main codebase (trunk).

As a additional reading it might help if you read the documentation on branching and merging from the SVN Book from here but Bill's explanations made me understand better. I found this great article by Bill Simser on Day-to-day with Subversion where he explains practical use of Subversion branches, tags and merges.

I have taken this from : Jon Galloway’s Shell Command – Remove SVN Folder and simply created the reg file to be downloadable (for those who are not so confident on how to deal with reg files) notepad or text editor) and understand what it does if you want to make sure you’re not letting it do something you don’t want In this case I do and I have been using it for yearsĪnd if you could also look into it (edit e.g. svn folders will be removed (there will be a command window that will show up displaying progress too – though if the folder structure is not that deep enough it might disappear very quickly).ġ) altering your registry not for the faint-hearted and you’d have to trust the author/publisher.

Effectively “ unbinding a folder from SVN“ġ) download this registry file : DeleteSVNFolders.reg (313.00 bytes) – see below notes for more information (security issues/verification and code source). This is one of the many (but easiest way) to remove SVN folders (.svn) recursively from a given folder. Since I’ve been using SVN and stumbled upon this technique I’ve also been using since then
