Start using SVN.

For example,

(1) immediately updating before I begin to work.
(2) using good log msgs (figure out why -m switch doesn’t seem to work)
(3) always doing an svn diff before I commit
(4) using branches and snapshots
(5) NOT having a bunch of different checkouts of the same svn repository sitting around

That will be great! Right now I think I might be the least effective repository user ever!

I use this for personal projects and like it. I have worked on one joint project using subversion and found the merge conflict to be wanting. I have never found a really good solution to this.

I have just finished project, which was made using SVN since the very first line :)

For 3 years at least, I’m trying to find time to upgrade my 3 or so CVS servers to Subversion.
Now that I want my projects referenced on Ohloh, and it does not support authenticated CVS, I will do this real soon.

This is difficult at first, because it adds steps to your process. But once you get used to just doing updates and commits, you can add more. Don’t try to learn it all at once.

Now I have fully integrated SVN into my development, I feel much better than ever!

I started using subversion this last month and lo and behold there is a goal for it!

svn co, svn up, svn ci ?
I have no idea, but we’ll try it.
Maybe I will miss cvs ?

Every developer or wanna-be developer should be using SVN. I just saves a lot of time, get you more organized and make feel better cause you’re doing things the right way !

Well, I think you should start with ToitoiseSVN, it’s so easy.
