RE: [ACFUG Discuss] Subversion or others
That sounds great Jeremy! Thanks for the advice. I guess I will have some reading to do then set up TortoiseSVN. and see what happens. Thanks to all. This has been a great thread to all that helped!

I didn't have time to read through all of the articles Charlie had linked to. I had a rather long pro-SVN post to ACFUG not to long ago when the CVS vs SVN question came up as some people still weren't sure whether or not they should be using SVN or CVS. You can review that as well, it covered all of the basics. Also there really aren't a flavors of SVN. SVN repositories of a certain file system type are just that. There is no real difference and any tool, like TortoiseSVN, that is working with SVN repositories is going to be doing the exact same things. How easy or difficult those things are to do depends on the tools and the amount of knowledge you have working with those tools. SVN is a much more flexible tool than CVS, so you have a lot of freedom in how you manage certain aspects of your change management process, whereas with CVS it had certain concepts hard coded so to speak. In the end you just need to manage your code and ensure that you can see what has happened from one day to the next and that basic level of usage is easily attainable. You should really check out the free SVN books. They were mentioned in many articles and blog posts, but they are really a great place to start. Ultimately the worst thing you can do is not at least download TortoiseSVN and play around with it to get a feel for what SVN is capable of :) Jeremy On 1/26/07, Robert Reil [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: wow Charlie!

Its friday... those of you that know about Roberts day knows what that means :) Anyhow I am looking into this Subversion issue again. Daniel and I have decided to stop our WACK studies at chapter 16 to start practicing what we have learned so far. We will start working with AbleCommerce to tweak it into submission and have immediately realized that we will be departing from the original AbleCommerce build. When we do this we will be developing in one direction and they will be doing so in another. We need a way to stay in sync. Now I have done a google on Subversion with Dreamweaver and see 170,000 returns. I see there are all these Subversion flavors. I use Dreamweaver and am new to this.
