Excellent. Does that just apply to the current session?

drewm replied on June 03, 2009 21:16 to the question ".svn files copied when copying folders." in Connected Flow:

Ah, ok, that could work for small folders that aren't deeply nested.

My workaround for the time being is to work on an export of the right side, rather than the working copy.

Thanks Fraser.

How do I say I'm done merging a file that still has diffs?

Is there a way to hide files I'm done merging?

When I fully merge two files (so there are no more differences), the file gets hidden from the listing, which is great. Sometimes I don't want to merge a file completely - just parts of it.

Is there a way to tell Changes that I'm done with merging that file and please hide it?

.svn files copied when copying folders.

Is there a way to have Changes ignore .svn folders when copying a folder from one side to the other?

An example situation would be:

I'm merging two projects, putting additions to the Right back into the Left. Both are in different svn repos. Changes is set to ignore .svn.

There's a folder on the Right that is new, and I want to copy it to the Left. I right click, say Copy Right to Left and the folder gets copies.

Inside the copied folder is the .svn folder for the Right side's repos. When I try and add and commit the modifications to the Left side's repos, I get errors because there's an out of place .svn folder.

I can't proceed at this point until I go into the new folders in the Left project and manually delete the .svn folders. Then I can add them.

So, I think what I'm saying is, is there a way to have the .svn filter persist to the level of copying folders?

(Wow, that was long-winded - sorry!)

I have a related issue to Pete - the signup page says that by signing up I agree to the terms and conditions, but as you point out yourself, Sarah, the T&Cs aren't linked.

Therefore there's no way to sign up... unless you're happy to agree to conditions you can't review, which would be madness.

I'd be really keen to see a British English option when viewing the site, all because of one tiny word.

In British English we refer to a company in the plural. Instead of saying e.g. "Twitter is here!" we'd say "Twitter are here!". If that sounds really wrong to your ears, that's how wrong the US English version sounds to me.

The fact that nearly every page has what my brain is telling me is a US English 'error', puts me in the mindset that this is a service for other people to use, not for me. i.e. I feel like an outsider. It's really weird - I admit.

This problem does seem to lie between DoubleClick's bad use of JavaScript and HTMLTidy's bad handling of that bad use of JavaScript.

I've got a solution in the works directly inside hKit (cause I guess this is going to come up a lot). Seems to be fixed locally, I just have to run it through a shed-load of tests to make sure it's robust.

Hoping to have a new release of hKit ready this week.
