Very much so... Thanks Larry,

Wow... yeah, this is why I have a tough time with most os projects...
the easiest way to get it working is to use google to find some
obscure tutorial on a blog that's completley unrelated to /
unafiliated with the site... and even then the interface is crap...
TortoiseSVN does a lot of great stuff for you -- only after you've
spent several minutes in a DOS shell configuring your project with
cryptic commands -- which for me needs to be done for each new
project.

Though it seems that I now hav it running... The problem with not
seeing the context menu items and tabs they described is that having
them show up requires that the subversion server wasn't running! (not
mentioned at all during installation of course) ... You don't just
install it and then run it either, you install it, spend several
minutes in obscure configuration between the dos shell and a text
editor, THEN you install a windows service wrapper for it (that isn't
mentioned on the Subversion site), configure and run the service and
finally you have it running in an intuitive manner.

And even then TortoiseSVN doesn't appear to have any built in
functionality for creating directories within the SVN repository...
which is the reason I have to spend several minutes with a dos shell
each time I create a new project, since I want each project to have
its own directory in the repository.

The good news is that my silly notion that I needed cfeclipse to use
it is false... No offense to the CFE guys -- it looks pretty good and
seems to be headed in the right direction, although at the moment I'm
too married to the DW synchronization features to switch. (And for
what its worth, they don't go far enough -- if you can change
"Automatically save files to server on save" to "Automatically
synchronize files on change" -- i.e. inclusive of delete, move and
rename operations, I'LL LOVE YOU FOREVER!) (Oh, and give me a way to
store my project settings outside the project's working directory.)

So I can just continue to work the way I've been working for the most
part... My only remaining question at this point is this:

When I package up my applications for consumption by others, how to I
include the SVN info? I notice it creates a .svn directory in the
working directory of the project -- is that all it needs is for that
directory to be included in the zip (after committing changes) or do I
need to explicitly export the info for the directory in some way? I
haven't read through all the docs yet -- I've just been working with
the hints... But if somebody else already knows, a hint would be
FABULOUS! :)
