configuration management

Question

Just how much 'dog food' eating does Microsoft do with Team Foundation Server?

TFS looks very impressive on paper, its a highly integrated solution that covers most bases to various degrees for everything a dev team needs in terms of version control, configuration management, builds, automation, testing, workflow, etc.

But how much is it actually used in Microsoft? The marketing material certainly boasts some impressive numbers for the adoption of TFS within Microsoft, but just how much is it used in 'anger' at Microsoft?

Are there any other businesses that use TFS in business critical projects that you know of? What is the general perception of TFS in the CM community?

How to get 'changeset' recursively in SVN?

I want to get changeset recursively but each time get all files/folders that are not required in SVN.

Here is the scenario for better understanding.

There are total 10 folders in an application. There are 3 folders(like X,Y,Z) present at different hierarchy in the same application and each folder contains 20 files. Names of few files are same in these 3 folders. The developer change 2 any files from 3 different folders. By applying the changeset, SVN shows that mentioned 6 files along with the path are changed. [i][Till here it is good for us].[/i]

When we try to get these 6 files with the same hierarchy, there is no such option to get [i]ONLY[/i] these 6 files rather during Export(in windows platform), the mentioned options like Fully recursive, only file children, etc does not work for us.

So, can anyone let us know how to get these 6 changed files in the same hierarchy?

Thanks!

What is the best practice of taking SVN backups?

What is the best practice of taking SVN backups, i.e. either through dumps using a script or copying the whole database using Windows System tools or any other good practice?

Need help with Harvest package history reporting

I've been trying to get some reporting working on package history and experience some 'challenges' to obtain the right set of data.

What I need is the (average) time it takes (or took) for a package to get from state X to state Y in a given environment.
I can get a per environment list of all Created, Promote and Demote actions from table harPkgHistory (plus the date/time of execution). But when a package has been promoted/demoted into a state more than once, the query returns too many rows.

Any help would be very welcome ...

How to check out / download only files that have changed in Subversion?

We have a need to check out or download a list of files changed since a given date. We need to be able to apply only those files to production - in part to preserve date and time stamps and to avoid refreshing 10,000 files to production every time a bug fix is released.
