This article is part of a series about Accountant's Copy in QuickBooks Desktop. Note: OK is highlighted by default each time the error message appears, holding the Enter key allows for OK to be selected on each successive prompt which will speed up the process. It only serves as a notice that the transaction will not be created. Important: This specific error message does not prevent you from working on the company file. To prevent conflicts with your client changes, the current action is not allowed.”This message can appear multiple times, in succession, based on the number of memorized transactions. This is a bit of a hack, but it works just nice.Due to memorized transactions that the program is attempting to create, but do not fall into the actions available within the Accountant's Copy, you can get: “WARNING: This is an Accountant's Copy of the company's data. If you want to reduce from "infinity" (highest) to "files" (somewhere in the middle), you must first reduce it to "exclude" (causing the directory to vanish) and then increase it back again to "files". You can only reduce it to "exclude" (the lowest level of all). You can increase it from any level to any higher level.
SMARTSVN REMOVE FOLDER FROM WORKING COPY UPDATE
It sets the depth for dir2 to zero and it will immediately vanish from the checkout and no update will bring it back, unless you explicitly set the depth of this directory to a value again (or just do an update on it without depth option, since not giving any depth always means infinity, unless you use non-recursive, which means "files").Īctually SVN 1.6 cannot really reduce the depth the same way it can increase it. Unlike SVN 1.5, SVN 1.6 can reduce the depth on a directory svn up -set-depth exclude dir2 It can be done with Subversion 1.6, though. No work around exists, that's just the way it is. What I'm trying to do cannot be done with Subversion 1.4 or Subversion 1.5 Period. file1.txt)? SVN does not allow to checkout individual files, you can only checkout whole directories. However, how do I get the files then (e.g. Just creating the checkout directory (without SVN) and then checking out the individual subdirectories from the repository directly as subdirectories to this directory will work for the directories: now every directory is a checkout of its own, can be updated and once not needed any longer, you can just delete it. Is this complete impossible with SVN? Anyone ever came up with a clever work-a-round to that? Running a " svn remove" will remove it of course, but on next commit it will also remove it from the repository, which must not happen.Įven the new sparse directory ("shallow checkout") feature of SVN 1.5 is of no use here: When you just delete dir2, the next " svn up" will bring it back, as " svn status" of course shows it as missing now ("!" in front of its name). Now the problem: What if I decide at any later point that I don't need dir2 any longer? How do I get rid of it? There seems no way of doing so, other than deleting the whole checkout and start over from scratch. If you run a generic " svn up" in the future, it will only update the files and those two directories, it will not add any of the other directories. if you need dir2 and dir4 only, you can go into the checkout directory and execute svn up dir2 You can now selectively add the directories you need by explicitly updating those. Even if you go into the checkout directory and run a " svn up", it will only update the files checked out previously, it will not add the directories. This checks out only the first directory and the files inside. Just make the checkout non-recursive: svn checkout -N Now you need the files and some of the dirs, but not all of them. Assume that you have a directory under subversion control, that contains some files and tons of subdirectories, like that: file1.txt
