How well does Resharper know me?

I was in the process of setting up another unit test and realized...I really should just make a Resharper template for this. As I went to create the template I saw one setup exactly as I would want it which is like this:

namespace $NAMESPACE$ 
{
    using MbUnit.Framework;
    using Rhino.Mocks;
    
    [TestFixture]
    public class $CLASS$ { $END$ }
    
}

Now, I don't remember at all creating this...so I'm wondering did I create it a while ago and am just having a friday brain fart, or is Resharper really that smart?

Do I really need a database?

So I have REST + HTTP which gives me CRUD over a resource. And I'm going to say that in the REST world Uri is to resource as PrimaryKey is to a table. Uri is certainly more user friendly so traditionaly I'd wind up writing something that maps a uri onto a database row. Why not just skip the database and map the Uri onto a file which probably stores xml or rdf or yaml whatever. Oh but database gives me powerful query capabilities, well so does Lucene.NET, and I can probably make a much simpler interface to search and index than having to build a query builder. If I want transactions, merging and versioning, maybe I should just make my filesystem be subversion.

I'm sure today it's orders of magnitude faster to use a database, but I wonder if we'll start going this direction in the future. Seems not a far stretch if you look at some of the features of Katami.

Finding deleted files in subversion

So I have to update my wix installer today and I need to remove files that I have deleted from my project. Subversion + Powershell makes this easy

svn log -r 4606:HEAD -v | where {$_ -match "^   D"}

4606 was revision of the last time I updated the installer, so I ask subversion for all changes since then.

-v tells it to print each path

My where { } checks each line of the output to see if it starts with 3 spaces and a D
