revision

I have a GCC project and would like to automatically add defines for build date and revision number (from git) to my sources. What's the best way to do this? My goal is simple to be able to do something like this on startup: printf("Test app build on %s, revision %d", BUILD_DATE, REVISION) For building I'm using make with a simple Makefile.inc, not autoconf or anything like this. gucki I ended up using a simple command like this in my Makefile : echo "#define GIT_REF \"`git show-ref refs/heads/master | cut -d " " -f 1 | cut -c 31-40`\"" > git_ref.h VonC RCS keyword substitution is not natively

Is it possible, via TortoiseSVN, to know the SVN rev number you are about to get prior to a commit so that I can put that rev# into the source code comment section? Perhaps there is a special keyname/variable that I can put into my file that TortoiseSVN will automatically replace with the rev# it's about to commit to? The motivation behind this is that I can take the latest build and see what SVN rev's it was comprised of by just looking at the source code. It also gives management warm fuzzies. Subversion does support keyword expansion , but you may want to read here before choosing to

When using Git with TortoiseGit: Does somebody know how to revert a single file(or a complete repository) to a previous revision? For example I have a repository containing multiple files. One file exists in three revisions (1 ; 2 ; 3). Now I want to change from revision 3 back to 2. TortoiseGit offers a "Revert" function in the "Show log" dialog which allows to jump back to a specific revision, but this will revert your whole repository instead of a single file. Also once I have reverted something, I don't have a clue how to undo the revert and jump back to the newest revision. In TortoiseGit

I am trying to get the mercurial revision number/id (it's a hash not a number) programmatically in python. The reason is that I want to add it to the css/js files on our website like so: <link rel="stylesheet" href="example.css?{% mercurial_revision "example.css" %}" /> So that whenever a change is made to the stylesheet, it will get a new url and no longer use the old cached version. OR if you know where to find good documentation for the mercurial python module , that would also be helpful. I can't seem to find it anywhere. My Solution I ended up using subprocess to just run a command that

I am trying to merge the latest changes from trunk into a branch of my project, but the problem is I don't know what revision of the trunk I checked out that I eventually created the branch from. I would think SVN logged this somewhere. Does anyone know how I can find the revision number? (In other words, the Subversion equivalent of git merge-base master branch-name ) From the command line, the --stop-on-copy flag can be used to help show you where you copied a branch from: svn log --stop-on-copy --limit 1 -r0:HEAD ^/branches/feature The last line of will say something like this: Changed

Is there a better way extract the current revision hash in Mercurial than hg log -l1|grep changeset|cut -d: -f3 ? Part of my webapp deployment script "tags" the uploaded app tarball with its unique revision hash. Try: hg id -i Example: $ hg id -i adc56745e928 hg --debug id -i This will output the long hash, with a plus if there are uncommitted changes. You can use --template with the parent command, I use this to get the long hash: hg parent --template '{node}' Summarising the answers and their responses, it seems that this is the best way to print the unique (not short form) identifier of the

For a given file in a Mercurial repository, how can you see the revision history? And how can you diff two revisions of the file? Ideally doing all this with visual tools (we use ExamDiff to do some other diffs). I'd say this is basic source control functionality but I can't seem to figure out how to do this with Mercurial. hg log file hg diff -r 10 -r 20 file Geoffrey Zheng The hgk extension gives you hg view file command that shows a visual history, from which you can diff/vdiff arbitrary pair of revisions. TortoiseHg gives you thg log file command that does the same thing but looks better.
