I think the O.P. is missing something when for some reason there is time to post an incomplete question to a mailing list but for some reason there isn't time to do an "svn commit". After which an "svn update" on the other server would put an end to the issue. There isn't anything in this scenario favoring git. There is one master copy. One person doing the changes. Isn't even anything requiring svn. Svn is good for keeping an archive of changes, and its good for simultaneously making different changes on different machines then reconciling the two differing edits. But if you have a collection of files on one machine that you wish to be identical on another then rsync(1) is your friend. Its included in MacOS X (or Xcode). Have to install it from /usr/ports/net/rsync on FreeBSD. Rsync is smart enough not to blindly copy every file, only changed files, and then only the changed portions. -- David Kelly N4HHE, [email protected] ======================================================================== Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
