When I was using Subversion for version control in working on my Mac apps in Xcode, I had come to use a build script phase to tack on the subversion revision number as the last part to the version number: # tack the subversion revision number onto the CFBundleVersion REV=`svnversion -n "${PROJECT_DIR}"` REV=${REV/#[0-9]*:/} REV=${REV//[^0-9]/} BASE=`/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy [...]
The Google Code support wiki article ConvertingSvnToHg is quite easy to follow, but there is one thing worth noting that is kind of buried in the comments. Assuming you’re doing full history conversion, it is very useful to know that running hg convert locally is much much faster than running it on a remote SVN [...]
I have very happily been using Subversion since 2008. I was quite clearly late to the version control system (VCS) party and I wish I’d known about VCS much earlier. About 5-6 months ago, I finally gave in and tried Mercurial and hated it. While I could kind of get my head around why I [...]
When I was first learning structured programming, I used an IDE (TurboPascal). Since then, I have rarely used an IDE outside of specialized language development environments like VisualBASIC. Mostly, I use a text editor that I link up with a good sftp program to edit remotely or that I use in conjunction with subversion. For [...]

While I’d been really happy using svnX, it didn’t deal with svn properties at all, which meant having to go to the CLI and set properties manually. This got annoying fast when I kept forgetting the syntax to set svn:keywords so that I would get those nice automatic tags filled in at the top of [...]
I’d gotten very used to editing some of my sites on the live running copy or editing a testbed server, then rsyncing it to the live server. I really had the WinSCP+TextPad thing down, then moved to Transmit+KomodoEdit when I went Mac-only for programming. It wasn’t bad at all, though every once in a while [...]
The .1 update that many people said they were waiting for is here. (And there are reminders all over every admin page on my blog, too.) Version 2.5.1 of WordPress is now available. It includes a number of bug fixes, performance enhancements, and one very important security fix. We recommend everyone update immediately, particularly if [...]
5 minutes is a long time for upgrading WP, as far as I’m concerned. I think it might have taken 5 minutes total to upgrade all three of my current WP installs and check/fix plugin issues. Mind you, I use the subversion method of upgrading. If you have shell access and can run subversion, it [...]
