Personally, I use git to track my code. I like that git doesn't need a server, but rather keeps the entire history locally. Nice aritcle for reference (for when I need to access an svn repo).

Bit of a hurdle for those with limited command line backround, but TortoiseSVN can make the transition a bit easier, although i don't think you end up with the same understanding at the end of it. MAC http://scplugin.tigris.org/ PC http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ I suggested TeamCollab/Assembla to skribit, any experience using Assembla? im new to it, but it looks like it should help me manage a few summer project teams quite well.

I've used CVS in the past, but it was usually through a GUI with only half of the complexity. Fortunately, I'm pretty familiar with terminals/command prompts/shells, so this guide was exactly what I needed. I'll probably start updating WordPress with SVN in the future.

I personally am all too familiar with Unix commands due to the frequency I use them here at school. Each CS student is assigned an account to store files for labs etc. (as I am sure is the case in most CS programs) so learning how to get around in Unix is a must if you want to pass. I am just getting familiar with subversion as I converted my WP install to the WP via SVN, so this guide was at my level with regards to SVN itself. Well done guide.

Can SVN be used to back up files to your server? Kind of like Time Machine, where you can roll back to the previous versions of the file. Just a thought.

I have been wondering how to use subversion for some time but never cared enough to google it. The article was very informative and detailed. As for how much I know about Linux: I have worked with linux quite a few times and know a little more than the basics. Plenty to get around the file-system and run apt-get.

I've been trying to get into working with the terminal and SVN for a while. I've also always kind of wondered what <i>exactly</i> SVN was, but now it's all clear. I would definitely be interested in more of these types of posts with instructions on using the terminal for managing your server and doing web development. Paul, thanks a lot for this post.
