Subclipse and Subversion

Subclipse is a pretty decent plugin for Subversion … though it feels like it still has some maturing to do …

Here are two items in particular we’ve run into …

1) Folder named “tags” doesn’t think it’s under version control

If a folder is named “tags” anywhere … and it says it’s ignored, or won’t synchronize etc, then go into Preferences for Team -> Ignored Resources and uncheck “tags”

2) Rename of Class name or other file fails with an SVN error

On Windows … if all you’re doing is changing the CASE of a filename … it will fail since Windows is case-insensitive.

So … you need to change the name to something different first …. then to the renamed file with different case.

Example:

- ClassName
- ClassNameOld
- CLASSName
