Still getting aquanted, couple of questions

["Rev. Steve Klett" <st...@gmail.com>]

I recently took the leap into using subversion, in the past I have only used 
Source Safe and Alienbrain. Anyway, that doesn't matter.

I have some questions and so far have not been able to find simple and clear 
answers to them, hopefully this list can help me out ;)

1) I have "checked out" my repository in the different location. I'm still 
getting used to the subversion meaning of a checkout. In each case, I have 
created a folder c:\PMDRepository. I'm not sure what I did differently, but 
on 2 of the machine, the folder PMDRepositry has the subversion icons as 
well as all added sub directories and files. On another machine, only the 
directories and files withing PMDRepository have the icons. Does this 
matter? Is this bad?

2) I have noticed that when I click on a non-versioned file and "Add" it, 
that it won't show up in the repo browser until I commit. Is this normal or 
is there a configuration problem? It seems misleading that an add would not 
truly add the file, but apparently only change the icon.

3) When I add a new file, I have noticed that the revision is not 0 or 1, 
but some other, larger number. I figure this is the "global revision" that I 
have read about. Is there a way to make it show a "local revision" IE: 0/1 
if only commited once?

OK, that's it for now. I hope these questions aren't in an FAQ that I 
haven't found yet. If so, I apologize.

On another note, I have some feature/tool requests, I haven't been able to 
find a solution to these and if any of you know of any, please share;

1) Office integration - if I open a file in the repository, if there was a 
macro( like Alienbrain) that could ask me if I want to check and obtain a 
lock, that would be great. I would like to get the "sales and marketing" 
people at work to use subversion, but currently, there is no way that I 
could get them to use it the way it is, just a little to complicated.

2) Is there a interface that has been fully developed for Visual Studio? I 
have seen a couple partial projects and tried out one that seemed to work, 
but was very complicated and seemed overkill. Are there any plans for a 
OpenSource project?

3) RapidSVN - I tried this thinking it would be a good solution to #1, but 
found quickly that it was not very complete. FOr example, if I click on a 
folder to checkout, the dialog pops up and doesn't have the url filled in! 
Also, it would be great if you could tell RapidSVN where your working folder 
root is, then it could determine from the server url what local folder you 
wanted to check out to.


Thanks for readin, this is my first post and it seems like a very active 
list, I look forward to reading any responses!

Thanks,
Steve

Are you using TortoiseSVN? If you are, then the folders show the
"subversion" icons depending on whether they have the .svn directory
within it. I am guessing that you might have provided a subfolder's
name as the target in one case and may not have specified that in the
other case. I am just guessing though. I have not used TortoiseSVN
enough to know different situations where this can happen.

That's the way it is. When you add a file, it only "schedules" the
file for addition. All the local changes (additions, deletions and
modifications) go to the repository only using the commit command.

I do not think there is way. I am not sure why you would want it that
way, though.

There is no local revision.

You'll have to take that up with the developers of RapidSVN. I think  
they have their own mailing list.
