Left-overs remain.
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

Blimey. Didn't see that coming. This sort of case has been getting steadily more numerous and outrageous and yet successful (the outrageous verdict on Men At Work apparently a catalyst). If this is a precedent of more sensible judgements then well done all!

I found out the hard way last year when rolling out a new web application for a customer, that yes, there are business users out there in the real world who run their browsers (IE in this case) with client-side debugging turned on! 
Worse, it confuses some of them to the point that they called and wanted to know if they should click 'Yes' to Debug? 
Since then, when working with their application, I turn on debugging to report all errors. The problem is when I browse out to the 'real world' with debugging on. Rough estimates are around half of the sites visited have bugs, which apparently don't cause any real problems, but isn't it just sloppy programming to not handle them properly?

Lost all my web backups. Years worth!
Yes I have multiple backups but haven't committed in quite a while and when I did the whole directory is gone and evidently it has been gone for quite a while as backups don't have it either.
I'm spit'n mad
New version: WinHeist Version 2.2.2 Beta I told my psychiatrist that I was hearing voices in my head. He said you don't have a psychiatrist!

Are you sure the repositories have actually gone?
|
|
|

It's one whole directory within the repo. and it's gone. I've got current web but all revs are gone. Makes me sick!

Has it been temporarily moved or renamed as part of an upgrade or intermediate save operation that went wrong?
Checked the logs? recycle bin, temp folder, they don't just vanish!
Was it online on a vm or on a local machine? Online then the provider might have an incremental backup somewhere.

It did the same thing to some other files a while back and I never did find them. I'm thinking a bad area on disk perhaps?

possibly.....maybe want to run a chkdsk or scandisk and also look at the disk SMART data for failure counts.

Are you talking about Subversion? If so, I'm not sure I understand the problem. SVN never removes stuff unless you explicitely modify the repo (and that requires admin rights). It doesn't remove local files either, unless they are unchanged compared to the revision of your check-out or update, even if those files were removed by someone and the removal was checked in. Also note that moving files or directories to a different location is registered in SVN as a removal followed by an addition.
Things you could do:
- Check the log/history of the parent folder: you should see any previous modifications relating to the directory.
- Try checking older revisions in the repo. If that folder has ever been committed to the repo, it has to be there, and you should be able to restore the last version before its removal. (plus you should see the log entry of the removal, giving you a hint what went wrong, or who did it)
- One other thing you could do is check your file system if you happen to have a copy somewhere - maybe it has been moved, not removed.
GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

I was thinking the same thing... SVN should not have done this. This is one reason why I have an early morning export done daily to another RAID device (this is at work).

Every time I have to restart VS it loses all my tab settings and reverts to spaces. Spaces!!! Most irritating - I will certainly require tea and hob nobs to recover from this. 
|
|

I haven't noticed that - but then I prefer spaces anyway.

My guess is you are not exiting Visual Studio properly. That's a problem many Brits have.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Hangle through the settings maybe there is some "save settings".
Do you exit the VS properly or are you unplugging the PC 
Press F1 for help or google it.

You need to reformat your system and reinstall.

Yup, it's not as complex as it seems.
