Rebase should do it. git rebase -p –onto master testing~10 testing This will copy the last ten commits on testing to master and make that the new testing (the old testing will be an orphan). Then you can merge master to testing as a fast-forward. git checkout master git merge testing
You could do this: git ls-tree -r -t -l –full-name HEAD | sort -n -k 4 This will show the largest files at the bottom (fourth column is the file (blob) size. If you need to look at different branches you’ll want to change HEAD to those branch names. Or, put this in a loop … Read more
An svn update will bring the file back, fixing your local repo. You should then be able to do an “svn delete” on the file, which tells your local repo that the file is to be deleted, and also deletes it from the file system. You should then be able to commit the changes back … Read more
If you want the file contents to remain unchanged (meaning that you can’t merely change whitespace as johnstok suggested) you can always change one of the properties on the file. eg. svn propset dummyproperty 1 yourfile svn commit yourfile That will perform a commit without having to change the file. Just make sure that you … Read more
git clone u://r/l –branch x still clones everything but sets the local HEAD to that branch so it’s the one checked out. Source: –branch <name> -b <name> Instead of pointing the newly created HEAD to the branch pointed to by the cloned repository’s HEAD, point to <name> branch instead. In a non-bare repository, this is … Read more
Yes you will have to resolve the conflicts, mark them as so with git add or git rm and git commit The commit is not done yet, after the git revert – if you see .git/MERGE_MSG, you will see something like: Revert “adding revert” This reverts commit c1366607f15a8384434948cb0bcbf8ece48bb460. Conflicts: revert So once you resolved the … Read more
git branch tmp # mark the current commit with a tmp branch git reset –hard Commit1 # revert to Commit1 The SO answer “What’s the difference between ‘git reset’ and ‘git checkout’ in git?” is quite instructive for that kind of operation A git reset –hard HEAD~2 would do the same thing (without needing to … Read more
Pushing and Pulling from the remote repository isn’t quite as important as your local commits. Typically pushing and pulling a few times a day is sufficient. Like @earlonrails said, more frequent pushes means less likelihood of conflicting changes but typically it isn’t that big a deal. Think of it this way, by committing to your … Read more
It is not possible to do local commits with Subversion. This is because, as a centralized version control system, your local working copy does not have all the information the server has about past revisions, log entries, etc. which it would have had if it was a Distributed Version Control System (DVCS). A subversion working … Read more
Commit the directory, not the file. Think of a directory as a text file containing the list of files it contains, then you can see that to commit successfully, you need to update the directory itself so it can remove the old entry and add the new entry. This will show up in SVN as … Read more
