I upgraded my TortoiseSVN client to version 1.8 and made a fresh checkout of a repository.
I made some changes in files and now trying to commit by right clicking on project folder but I'm not able to do it. It shows me 'SVN Upgrade working copy' in context menu, when I try to upgrade it from there, it does not work and kept asking me? I'm not able to commit my changes.
Any idea how to upgrade my local repository? Or it is something to do with the server SVN version?
Description. As new versions of Subversion are released, the format used for the working copy metadata changes to accomodate new features or fix bugs. Older versions of Subversion would automatically upgrade working copies to the new format the first time the working copy was used by the new version of the software.
To update, select the files and/or directories you want, right click and select TortoiseSVN → Update in the explorer context menu. A window will pop up displaying the progress of the update as it runs. Changes done by others will be merged into your files, keeping any changes you may have done to the same files.
Right click on the checked out folder, then use TortoiseSVN → Repo-Browser to bring up the repository browser. Find the sub-folder you would like to add to your working copy, then use Context Menu → Update item to revision....
You can simply click on one revision, then ctrl-click on the other revision (so the two are selected), then rt-click on either one, do "Compare revisions". This WILL show all changes between those two revisions, including changes made in any intervening revision.
You don't have to fully reboot, you just have to kill file explorer (not the IE browser, this is the file explorer) and restart it (in Task Manager kill the explorer process(es) and then go to File->Run and type explorer). This does close any folders you had open with explorer though.
