Using solutionpackager with SVN

Posted on by Chuck O

I started using solutionpackager recently to maintain some sort of version control, but when using this with SVN (and its attendant .svn folder) solutionpackager see's this folder as not part of the .zip solution and says "There are 1564 unnecessary files", then prompts to delete them.

So that's a problem because any legit missing files can't be discovered. If I attempt to list them, it flows past my buffer and gets lost in the list of .svn files. If I log the output, it doesn't log the "unnecessary" files listing.

Is there a way to get the source for SolutionPackager or a way to make it ignore the .svn folder? Ultimately all I really want is to know what in the solution got removed.

RE: Using solutionpackager with SVN

If I understood your issue correctly, I would simply suggest that in the root folder of your repo -where the .svn folder is- you would have folders for each of your solutions and then point solutionpackager to a folder containing the solution, not to the root of your repo.

Not sure if there's a reason why you would not be able to do this, but this is similar how I've done this.
