Using SVN, is there any way of warning a group of all files committed? (Tortoise SVN, to be more especific)

Question

I'm new to all of this version control world and I wanna know if is there any option/add-on in TortoiseSVN, to add a icon or something to files which had been committed/updated into my SVN server.

Answer 1

Yes there is a tool called CommitMonitor which anyone can use to watch a repo, and show you all the commits and log messages along with them. There is even some basic filtering.

Answer 2

Don't know about tortoise but SVN support the hook concept. You can read here about a hook to send an email:

Answer 3

Not that I know of. The idea of SVN is that you don't need to know. You do your work, your peers do theirs, and at regular intervals you commit and update. At those points you resolve conflicts and move on.

Ema's post is dead on. If you want commit notifications, that's the way to go.

Answer 4

We are successfully using Cruise Control. It's free and it even allows you to build the commited files so that you are also notified if a build succeeded or not.

This is done using a simple client app CCTray and you can also configure notifications by email.

Hope this helps.

Answer 5

I'm not sure if it's on by default, but in Explorer there is usually a green checkmark icon on files that have been committed and a red exclamation point on things that have been updated and not committed.

Are you running Windows?
