AnkhSVN: How to add files not under Solution to SVN? (VS 2010)

Question

just changed over form visualsvn to AnkhSVN. Loving it... but i need to add files and directory that are on my disk to SVN ... but the files and directory are not part the solutions (Vs2010) ... Its basically i directory where i store some dlls but if the directory is not present then i have missing references.

Is this possible?

Answer 1

Not from Ankh AFAIK. Get them in through Tortoise or the command line and you should be fine.

Thanks, yep still have tortoisesvn installed... will do that.. thanks again – Marci

Yes - though AnkhSVN supports Multiple "Working Sets" it can not be used to add non-svn items not under the solution directory. non solution-directory svn-items can be added as per @Sander's answer. for non-svn items You will have to add the external directory that contains these files externally using tortoisesvn. Now when you restart the IDE it should take it from there. – Southworth

Answer 2

You can either use "Show all files" in the solution explorer to reveal the files and add them, or use View -> Working Copy Explorer. Both solutions work in AnkhSVN.

hey thanks for the info! Although i didn't figure out once i do view, working copy explorer - how is it possible to add additional directories or files that are not in the solution?? – Marci

Right-click and add? Or are they directories that aren't within a working copy, and you want to create a new working copy there? – Grosmark

Working Copy Explorer - can only be used to Explore and Add items already connected to svn. you cannot add non svn items using it. – Southworth

@UjjwalSingh I have successfully added non svn items with this answer, so this is the correct one. – Deterioration

Answer 3

View Menu -> Working Copy Explorer -> navigate to your new file/directory -> right click and select "Subversion" -> then click "Add".
