This thread has gotten out of hand. So, Michael, if I may summarize ... 1: SVN, Git, ..., any option is better than no option, and you should research them all to figure out what works best for you. There is no one size fits all.
2: More importantly, development on a shared server is a big fat no-no. Heck, the reason we made CF Developer Edition free so many years ago was to eliminate cost as a factor in doing just that. Now ignore all of the other messages in this thread. ;-) --- Ben -----Original Message----- From: Adam Cameron [mailto:adamcameroncoldfus...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2013 11:24 AM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: Source control in CF To the OP: I'm really sorry to have accidentally turned this thread into one of those "my toy is better than your toy" kind of discussions.
