"you don't want two developers working on the same file"
Sounds idyllic...rarely happens for me. You want to merge in changes in some sort of "organized" manner. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Daniel Elmore Sent: Saturday, November 13, 2004 11:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Source Control The basic idea is that when working on a project in team environments you don't want two developers working on the same file and you want all developers to have a local copy of the site. So if someone makes changes to a file or adds/deletes a file from the project, you need a way to propagate these changes to all the local sites. So you use an RCS or CVS server to hold all the project files in one place, then each developers' computer connects to the file hub (where the CVS server is) with their CVS client applications where you can check out files (which locks it from other developers) check in files, check for new files added to the repository, delete files from the repository, etc. When a developer checks a file back in that he/she made changes to, it will show up as modified in the other developer's CVS clients, then they can copy the updated file over to their local site. Is that what your looking for? I probably could have said that in fewer words. - Daniel Elmore -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jake Sent: Saturday, November 13, 2004 10:37 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Source Control Uh.... ok.
