I had no source control set up for my solution.
But when I right clicked it and chose 'Add to Source Control', it spewed out the following output, which seems to be setting it all up and creating it automatically in the projects own folder.
A new Git repository has been created for you in C:\Users\Me\Documents\Sites\MySolution.
Opening repositories:
C:\Users\Me\Documents\Sites\MySolution
An existing Git repository was found in C:\Users\Me\Documents\Sites\MySolution.
Commit d59ef659 created locally in repository C:\Users\Me\Documents\Sites\MySolution
This seems like magic to me. I've dabbled in version control but have never used it seriously as most of my projects are personal and maintained by me alone. Has this option always been available?

I am trying to edit the default commit message that Visual Studio uses when first creating a repository from inside the GIT menu.
By default it matches the language of the computer.
For example in English it's "Add project files." In Italian it's "Aggiungere i file di progetto."

Is there a way to change this message once and for all?
The worst thing is, by default VS pushes the commit to GitHub when creating a repository, so you can't use git amend locally.
I have searched the whole web for this issue, and all solutions seem to involve git rebase commands.
Found the "create only local" option, now I can use git amend.
It works, but I'd like to avoid doing that everytime because it's time consuming.
Thanks in advance
I was attempting to add a remote repository to my already in progress project. In the process of doing so all my files disappeared from the Commit section of Source Control (Using Git)
Also, all of the Frameworks that I downloaded from the internet (specifically my Parse Frameworks) disappeared from Finder and appeared red in the navigator.
Any ideas on how to fix this? I attempted to "Discard all Changes..." which proved to do nothing, and I tried dragging in newly downloaded frameworks, which also did not work. Should I just make a new project folder?
Looks like your frameworks folder got nuked/moved.
Without more info, this is my generic advice: first make a copy of the directory which encapsulates your git repo. Then look into the git commands git reset and the big hammer git reflog. Good luck.
This is a very simple question - How can I remove Source Control from my solution and projects in order to change the SVN repository ?
I have an old project linked to an old repository, trying to move to a new one, and unable to figure out how.
The Actual place in Visual Studio that suppose to enable this is Grayed out.
Removing the .svn files form the folder doesn't apply as they are not there....
using the latest version of ankhSVN.
In your Visual2013. Go--> Tool----> Optioins--->sourcesControl
And Cuurent Sources Plug in None.
just set This. if not retuen feedback...
You seem to want to change the SVN respository that you're pointing to. There is another Question And Answer, but it seems pretty ugly.
Having installed the latest version of ankhSVN on Visual Studio 2013, it seems pretty trivial to relocate to a different SVN respository.
Right click on the Solution -> Subversion -> Switch Solution
On the menu, you should have an entry pointing to the current location of the solution. If the repository is the same, but under a different URL e.g. changing hostname, directory, etc, then simply change the relevant pieces in the URL and hit enter.
It will prompt you that the root you've specified is different from the one that you're currently using and you can simply relocate it from one to the other - i.e. choose to relocate. It will then prompt you a second time to switch, but this should be a free change.
If the new repository is different to the old one i.e. it's somewhere completely different in a different repository with a different repository ID then you're going to have to do some form of manual changing by following the instructions on the other answer.
If you want to remove the svn metadata for the project, it's in a single directory called .svn at the root of the solution that was checked out from subversion, as well as removing the information in the .sln file that mentions AnkhSVN (it's probably the only entries mentioned in a specific GlobalSection in the file mentioning source control). That purges all the svn data from the solution.
Hi I need to add the source files in my following project to Google Code SVN.
http://code.google.com/p/tnliveplaya/
I have installed AnkhSVN in visual studio 2010 and tried the "Add Solution to Subversion" but i dont have a clue on what to specify as the repo URL etc or any other necessary steps as this is my first time using Subversion or a subversion client. I referred the Google Code getting started guide too but that didnt help.
Please help if you know how to add a VS2010 solution to google code via AnkhSVN. :(
Subversion is pretty straight forward. You may want to read up on svn repository layout
Your repository has been set up with a solid layout with branches, tags, and a trunk directories.
Add your project to the trunk using this for your repository URL:
http://tnliveplaya.googlecode.com/svn/trunk
Profide your google code credentials.
Then you'll be shown a list of files that will be added. AnkhSVN is pretty smart at automatically ignoring files that shouldn't be checked in including items that change every build (e.g. obj and bin directories) or personal user settings (e.g. files ending with .user).
You can safely accept the defaults, changing them later if you wish. Read about svn:ignore.
It may take a while to commit if your project is large, but you should be good.
In showing a colleague how to use SVN yesterday, we created a test folder and file within our existing Visual Studio Solution. We'll call it "Test" folder with two files, "Test.ascx" and "Test.ascx.cs". We added it (or Visual SVN added it, 'cos it's awesome), and committed it. We also added and committed other files elsewhere in the project.
We can see it in the repository (and the other files).
Doing an update on my own machine to pull down these new files resulted in the other files being pulled down correctly, BUT the Test folder does not appear. No matter how many times I try Updating from various points in VS and in TortoiseSVN (urgh) Repo browser, it can't see that there are any changes to pull down.
Where am I going wrong?
This is a known problem.
You can use
$ svn update --depth=infinity
to force the update. With TortoiseSVN, use the "Update to revision" command in the Submenu, then change the depth combobox to "fully recursive".
I've had ghost errors like this before and found the easiest work around is to delete the parent folder and update it's parent:
Project Root
Project
NewFolder
Delete Project, then Update Project Root
We can see it in the repository (and the other files).
...
No matter how many times I try Updating from various points in VS and in TortoiseSVN (urgh) Repo browser, it can't see that there are any changes to pull down.
So you can or cannot see it in the repository browser?
Did you commit and update the parent folder of your Test folder?
I don't know, svn is always telling me to clean, did you try that?
It's not an answer, I know, but I have tried all the solutions you guys have kindly suggested and I just end up with conflicts, crashed TortoiseSVN and built up Karma. Therefore, a trusty edit in the .svn/entries file sorted it.
I have until now been a single developer using SVN just to manage my source code. Other people don't have problems, and I just check in stuff. I use Visual SVN as a layer to frig SVN for .NET (which it isn't great with) and I seem to constantly run into issues. I am performing very simple operations, not even branching/tagging. Simple simple simple. And yet I have issues with it?
