Force Log Messages using Tortoise SVN
July 25th, 2007 by Aaron
Everyone knows that standard SVN has its list of 6 or 8 standard hooks - but what if you’re 1) lazy, 2) busy, 3) don’t have access to the SVN server? Using one of the popular win32 shell integrated svn clients, TortoiseSVN, we can still force commit log messages easily:

Two New useful external tools for Eclipse
July 19th, 2007 by Aaron
In my posting about Integrating PHPDocumentor into Eclipse, I touched on External Tools a bit. The combination of external batch files, the external tools extra options and the console has made my life easier. I’m using two new additional batch files that I’ve written myself and integrated as external tools. These include automated SVN release update and resource refresh and Apache application control (for those who can’t run apache as a service on w32):

I use Subversion (SVN) for source control and deployment both for JEMDiary and at (”the triangle”). While working on my local copy of one of the websites, I got to thinking about the .svn folder and all of its files. The .svn folder is a local cache/db of the file changes in order to support diffs, reverts, and to give cues about file changes and the need to commit. I started poking around inside of the folder - and discovered the text-base folder. Inside of there, every one of my recently changed files were in there with an extension of .svn-base. Could this be a security issue - was I showing my code to the whole world? Lets figure this out:
