Probably out of scope for the list, but I'm going to start using SVN for my existing Cake 1.2 app; I've installed the subclipse plugin for Eclipse PDT on Windows. My dev server is a separate linux box that I've been working on through a mapped drive (the Apache document root is shared out). I have subversion installed, but not yet configured with a new repository.
I've been Googling around and found a couple of articles for moving other MVC framework-based applications into SVN, but it was more for the purpose of being able to grab nightly dev releases from the core project, whereas I'm interested in maintaining a repository for my application only. I did read the bakery article on the subject, but it seems to imply that you already are familiar with using SVN to some degree and are working on a new project. At one point, it mentions creating a new repository location in Eclipse but the path (file://c/SVN/mycakeapp) used as an example in the article seems to imply that the repository belongs in the SVN root, not the cake application root accessible by the webserver. Should I create a new repository using my existing cake path? If not, how does it handle checkouts? i.e. if I check a file out, does it get placed in the correct application path so that changes made and saved are active/visible at runtime? Also, since my application is running on a separate Linux machine, should I use SVN over SSH or enable Web access (DAV)? Both machines are on the LAN behind a firewall; I have no plans of accessing the repository remotely in the near future. I'm pretty new to SVN and have only used pre-configured lock-only version control software in the past. I was planning on contacting the SVN community for more support, just curious as to what/how the Cake crew has been handling their cake applications.
