Learn Subversion

SVN is a fantastic tool, and is very easy to use and get used to. I’m with kronn in that I’ve not mastered it, but I know that takes time. I’ll be using and teaching SVN at my work now so I’ll have plenty of face time with it.

Hoorah for SVN!

What do you guys do for a public repository? I can’t host it on my server just yet (working on getting that all set up), so I’ve been looking for a place in the mean time. Thus far, I’ve only found https://canvas.bountysource.com/svn/, but I’d like to know if you folks have found anything promising.

I don’t want to say that I’ve really 100% learned SVN, but I can honestly use it comfortably with my projects with very little effort. I’ve been setting up public repositories (with Apache2 and WebDAV, et al) and that’s been stretching, particularly with authentication and keys (though in a good way).

I’ve been developing a simple blog with my new web application development framework (called Canvas) and have been using SVN to keep track of it. (140 revisions in two days for one developer. Not bad, I think.)

I’ll be moving my framework code over solely to SVN, which will open up doors to community participation as well. (Hopefully.) I think my productivity will only continue to increase with Subversion.

So far, I’m loving it.
