The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

How to force commit with TortoiseSVN

Asked by fibo in Subversion, Version Control

Tags: subversion, tortoisevn

Hi experts,

Short version: Can I force a commit "no questions asked"? How? Would that still allow me to access / compare the previous versions?

More details!
I'm currently working on a project with lots of files and updates... so I must have some version control program. Some years ago I used CVS, but it seems that now Subversion is the route to go. Running on XP, I selected TortoiseSVN as a client since it also seems the route to go.
So I have installed TortoiseSVN on my local machine, the goal being to track changes of the local versions of some projects.
NOTE:
1 - I am the single user of the machine, and for all the files (I will also import some files and place them in the version control)
2 - it seems that SVN is not installed as an a program, just subversion. [Maybe THAT is the problem?]

I have painfully made my way thru the doc (it somehow assumes that you already know Subversion... which I didn't) and placed 3 different tress/ projects in the repository. What I did was to create the repository, export the directory tree, delete the files from the disk, checkout the project , which repopulated the directory tree with all the needed.svn dir.
Of course I am working on the project file. And in fact, since that was my goal, I transferred files by FTP from my remote server where the project is going to run.
After that, I wanted to commit the changes on my local machine.
This has worked fine on most files and directories, but there are some strange situation I do not understand how I could solve them.

The most frequent/ significant messages I get in my various attempts to circumvent the problem are:

Command : Commit
Modified : D:\XXXX\var
Error : Failure for propagation (commit), details :
Error : Directory '/un-carat/var' is obsolete
Error : You have to update your working copy first.
Finished! :

13/01/2009 - 13:45:50
Command : Commit
Error : The working copy of 'D:\XXXX\downloader\pearlib\tests' is locked
Error : Please execute the "Cleanup" command.
Finished! :
