I am using tortoise SVN and I am working on a separate branch other than development branch. My work on that branch might last more than 2 weeks or so till than if development branch is updated my code will be outdated.
I need to keep on updating my working branch from main development branch, I use merge with all revisions but it replaces my branch files with development files instead of showing me the conflicts and this means that my changes are lost which I made while working on my new branch.
I want tortoise SVN to show me conflicts with line numbers or at-least show me mine and theirs so I can resolve conflicts and keep my working branch up to date. Thanks in advance.
I am using tortoise for windows, tortoise SVN gui tool for windows 7. TortoiseSVN 1.8.2 I am right clicking on folder to merge and select repository url and select all revisions radio button for revisions.

I am using the Android Studio functionality to manage my branches/commits etc.
I have the master branch which is reserved for final versions, then I have my development branch and then I open new branches for any features I want to work on.
I've just noticed that my changes in my new branches are automatically merged into my previous branch.
For example, if I'm on the development branch then create a new branch "Image gallery" and add something, when I go back to the development branch, that thing I've added is already there!
This beats the whole purpose of using branches, what is going on? Did I click anything I shouldn't have clicked?
If we are not commit the changes which we are done in the feature branch(image branch), it will added to the development branch when we change the branch local. First we need to commit the changes which is done feature branch(image branch). Then we need to change the branch to the development.
usually perforce integration is to merge code from some revision of source branch to LATEST revision of target branch.
Is there a way to merge code to a specific earlier revision of target branch?
Of course, it's still needed to sync to latest revision for submitting the code.
I think you can sync to the revision you want to integrate to, then run an integrate -h (have revision). Should be one of the checkboxes in the integrate dialog. Or just do it from commandline.
Then once you've done the integrate and resolve, you'll likely have a sync to head and another resolve to go through, but that ought to get you were you want to go.
I'm new to having git set up for multiple users. I typically used it by myself with only one branch. I have a questions that I couldn't find safe answer to via Google:
If I'm currently pulling a feature development branch into my dev server to test the feature and I suddenly discover the need for a hotfix can I re-branch(checkout) the hotfix branch (part of master not dev), pull the files in and start working on/testing a hotfix or will my next "git add ." add the files from the feature branch(which are still on the server) to the hotfix branch therefore mixing the two branches?
If I understand your question, I think your asking if, having changes on the development branch, and then switch to a hot fix branch, will the changes get intermixed with the new branch?
Typically, what I would do is use "git stash save" of any changes on the development branch, checkout the hot fix branch and dothe changes and commit, switch back to the development branch, and then "git stash pop..." To get the development changes back.
You can do "git status" after each step to ensure the working area has what you expect.
I created folders in TortoiseSVN's repo browser. Then I copied all files in it. Then I wanted to delete all files from previous folders. But I couldn't because those files were already locked by someone else.
I want to completely undo the changes I made today and commit those changes and start working fresh. I tried using update to version but it only updates the working copy and does not commit it because no changes are made.
How can I completely undo changes made in TortoiseSVN and commit latest file
You need to perform a reverse merge of the changes and commit that. Then copy your "latest" version in and commit that.
I'm in a pickle. I'm using SVN 1.5 at Beanstalk and Tortoise SVN client 1.6.11 x64 on Windows 7.
I'm developing on a branch and have been merging changes from the Trunk into my branch at least once a week. I recently noticed some things weren't working as trunk changes didn't make it into my branch. When I try to do a merge, Tortoise acts as though there are no changes in the trunk to merge. The Test Merge shows no files being added or updated.
I tried to merge my branch back to the trunk, but got a message saying that my branch wasn't up to date and told me to merge a range of revisions from the trunk.
I really don't want to do this by hand. How can I tell Tortoise and/or SVN that my branch is not up to date?
I still don't know what caused this to happen, but I did manage a work around. I instead did a backwards "reintegrate a branch into the trunk". This seemed to work good enough, but not perfect.
