I’m changing the license on most (maybe all) of my active open-source projects, largely because the MIT license does not have as many blanks that have to be filled in as the New BSD license and the language is a bit simpler. To the best of my knowledge, any rights granted under the New BSD [...]
When I was using Subversion for version control in working on my Mac apps in Xcode, I had come to use a build script phase to tack on the subversion revision number as the last part to the version number: # tack the subversion revision number onto the CFBundleVersion REV=`svnversion -n "${PROJECT_DIR}"` REV=${REV/#[0-9]*:/} REV=${REV//[^0-9]/} BASE=`/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy [...]
The Google Code support wiki article ConvertingSvnToHg is quite easy to follow, but there is one thing worth noting that is kind of buried in the comments. Assuming you’re doing full history conversion, it is very useful to know that running hg convert locally is much much faster than running it on a remote SVN [...]
