Re: Version Control Advice

My problem is that I work from home, and a remote office. What's the best
way to store the source code? I can set up a server at one of the
locations, to act as a source code repository, or I can keep the
repository
on some kind of removable drive that I drag around with me (is that even
feasible?). Right now, as I'm not using a VCS (although I do have AJC
Active Backup installed which has proven invaluable), I copy my changed
files to/from a USB stick when I move between locations.


On work we have subversion server on old Linux box.

At home I simply run svnserve.exe, with name of
Linux box hardcoded with address 127.0.0.1 in my
hosts file.

For client I run TortoiseSVN on both machines,
using svn://linux@work_box_name as repository path.

On both machines I have scripts to run
svnadmin dump/load commands.

It works like a charm.

Tortoise have its annoyances, but they are more than
outweighed with advantages of shell integration.

Subversion on the other hand, is simply excellent
software. I never saw anything resembling slightest
problem in 18 months. Great stuff. And new
capabilities emerging all make a lot of sense.
Prioritisation of goals in subversion is admirable.
