Dave, Sergey, Thank you for your reply. It's one thing to remove a requirement; it's quite another for VS to invasively strip characters out of legacy (i.e. VERY OLD) code, making the version control system jump into high alert. So I am really looking for a way to turn this feature off....

17 Jan 2014 by Reshma Babu
I have multiple branches checked out from the trunk(codebase). When "svn merge" command is used for merging the branch code with the TFS, a sonar build must be triggered(using .bat file). Based on this result (errorlevel), it should be decided, whether the merge must be allowedor aborted.
1 Jan 2014 by dan!sh
Please refrain from such hooks. If your code base is considerable in size, it may take a lot of time to check in based on the amount of time required to analyse.You should take a look at continuous build integration servers. These do a build and analysis in background.
