Tortoise SVN update working copy with Active

Question

In my SVN repo browser I have multiple items (folders). I have two that are important, the first is CM_Active which corresponds to my Active project. This is the project that is live. I also have CM_Working which corresponds to my working project. I have made changes to my Active copy, how do I copy over the Active changes to update my working copy? I am new to SVN.

Answer 1

Using TortoiseSVN - open the folder containing your working copy, select all files, right click and select 'SVN Update'.

Via the CLI - use command svn update PATH

Answer 2

I recommend reading the Version Control with Subversion book.

If Active is a branch of Working, the you should use merge . If Active is not a branch of Working the I highly recommend making it a branch, as then it is easier to manage, because then it will be easier to see exactly what changed since the last merge.

The TortoiseSVN documentation is here , with the documentation on merging here .
