I am a fairly new user of Ankh and Turtle. The VS2008 application package is currently expanding, which will have several .exe files, but with a lot of common code.
We currently use the code between .exe projects, placing the source files in the General section tree and using Add as Link in all VS2008 projects that should compile these files. (We started with VisualSVN, but switched to Ankh because it dealt with linked files much better.)
The problem we are facing is that we are still actively changing the structure of the public folder tree - adding new folders and moving existing files to them as the project progresses.
Mostly they used Tortoise to change the directory structure, but they ran into problems all the time - it seems that they do not synchronize with the repository. We receive error messages that say there are no files, or about conflicts with the tree.
I suspect that the problem may be that we sometimes do things in the wrong order - for example, burning to update before moving directories around and then Committing - but not sure.
So my questions are:
What is the best tool to change directory structure - Ankh or Tortoise?
For a preferred tool, what steps should be performed and in what order?
