Subversion: How do you avoid forgetting to check stuff in?


Working on three different computers at two different locations, on projects that are in subversion, I once in a while forget to check in stuff at one location, so that I cannot work on the latest code, when I want to continue working on the project at another location.

I am sure other have had similar problems.

What are some things I can do to avoid this issue? Tools that help? Notifications I can set up?

I use Visual Studio 2008 and TortoiseSVN on Windows7 PCs.


Solution

  • Use a tool like VisualSVN to show which files are modified in the Solution Explorer, so that you don't forget to commit them:
