Error while adding CVS repository(extssh) in ReviewBoard - version-control

I installed ReviewBoard in my local and trying to connect to remote CVS repository. While I am trying to add CVS repository in ReviewBoard, I'm seeing below error. Please help.
The executable "cvs" is not in the path.
I used below string to specify path,
:extssh:UserName:Password#IP:/Path/to/CVSROOT

I suspect uou need the cvs command/package installed on your reviewboard server. It is either not installed, or not installed in a normal place that's in your PATH.

Add remote SVN repository for VS Code

I installed the plugin, but couldn't find anything in the documentation for the VS Code SVN plugin. I'm just looking to point it to a remote svn repository. Thanks.
If you are asking about the SVN-scm plug-in, you can check out a working copy using the SVN: Checkout command in the Command Palette.

Unable to integrate Github with Pycharm

I have created a repository on Github. I am using Windows 7 64 bit and Pycharm Community edition. I want to integrate the Github repository with pycharm but I am getting the error
Couldn't get the list of GitHub repositories
Connect to api.github.com:443 [api.github.com/192.30.252.127] failed: connect timed out
Although I am able to clone he same repository from command prompt using git clone command.
I had the same issue.
Configure your proxy if using one:
File->Settings->System Settings->HTTP Proxy
Another thing to try is to clone the project locally then add as new project in Pycharm. Afterwards I was able to do all git operations under VCS->git including add/commit/push for my project.
try to check whether you have given the path to Git executable correctly by testing it using test button next to it...(file>settings>version control>Git>path to Git Executable)
make sure you have given the git client path correctly..
C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.exe

Location of the svn repository

I have to add a file in a project in the svn repository. What is the best method to add a file? And I have to run that file through command line and for that I need the location of the svn repository. How do I find the location of the SVN repository? I tried svn info and I got an error stating '.' is not a working copy.
The Problem is, the ones who installed the svn are not available. And I need to know the location of the repository to run a file through the command line.
Much thanks.
You need to ask your fellow developers or repository administrator what your repository location is. You should already have the project checked out, in which case you are already using a working copy that is linked to it and you don't need to do any more to point at the right location.
As for how to add an item, that will depend on what client you're using. In Subclipse, it's Team -> Add. In TortoiseSVN, it's TortoiseSVN -> Add. On the command line, it's svn add <filename>
It sounds like you have no experience with Subversion. You would do well to read the fine manual before you get yourself into trouble.

Eclipse Egit Failed to commit

I got Eclipse for PHP developers 3.0.2 With Egit 2.2.0 installed, and I am on windows 7
I got my project and repository set up and linked.
Yet i cant commit changes. this is the error i get:
Exception caught during execution of add command
Exception caught during execution of add command
I got Git for windows installed and set that in the Git configuration.
I also got my HOME variable set up with %USERPROFILE%
Also my project location is on a remote server that i mapped to Z:
This includes the git repo as well.
That remote location has Lubuntu 12.10 installed.
It has git installed as well.
I found what was the problem.
Git locked it self witha file in the ./git/index.lock
After i removed that everything worked fine.
Thanks to #NaGeL182.. I got it working now because Git locked
So I need to delete the .git/index.lock file
On Mac just Hit below command On Terminal
rm -f ./.git/index.lock
on Windows
del .git\index.lock
Hope this will help.
My 2 cents...
My git workspace is mapped locally on the dropbox folder (i'm a bit paranoid and prefers double backup options). Sometimes there's a mismatch with the sync process and dropbox keeps the git .lock file.
Since all i care about is my resources and not the git metadata - i've simply unchecked the .git folder from synching online.
give this a try, go to your repository and execute below command !
chmod -R 777 .git
I hit this issue on a Windows 11 machine. The fix was to remove the 'hidden' attribute from all files under the .git directory

Use eclipse as subversion local copy GUI?

I have a working local copy of a remote svn server. I access this server via ssh with ProxyCommand in my .ssh/config file since it isn't directly reachable.
What I would like to do is using eclipse to browse my local copy of svn, make changes and commit them instead of using the command line. It would be like using eclipse as a gui for this svn local copy.
Is this possible without creating yet another local copy of my repo. ? If so, could you tell me which steps I should make because I am a bit lost here...
I am running an ubuntu 12.10 bow, with eclipse 3.8. I have installed subversive and svnKit connector.
