After 6 months daily use of SVN – Subversion and being part of a team of 8 developers I can clearly see the benefit of using a software version control system. I can’t imagine how hard it would be to keep track of what’s going on if still using ftp.
A few simple commands and you can pull in other peoples changes to your machine or commit your own :
# svn update (downloads any updates made in the repository) # svn commit (commits and uploads your local changes to the repository) # svn info (gives you information about the repository) # svn stat -u (shows you local and repository changes)
