I’m using TotoiseSVN client and Assembla backend in a VS 2010 express project. We have issues with VS folders (or filters) dropping and files sometimes not being added to the project. I notice when I commit the .vcxproj and .vcxproj.filters files are never checked by default even though they should be changing. So I manually check them and told others to as well when they commit.

This can lead to issues if team member A checks out, only changes some code, while team member B has the project checked out and added files to the project. If team member B then commits BEFORE team member A, team member A’s project file doesn’t have the new files team member B added so now his project overwrites team members B’s project file he checked in and now the new added files aren’t in the project.

How do we get around this besides having amazing coordination?

    CMake is perfect for this.

    In case you haven’t come across CMake, it allows you to create your entire project’s build files in a separate directory to your source files, outside of svn altogether.

    A single CMakeLists.txt file in your repository’s root would replace all your current .vcxproj and .filters files.
