It can and its really your choice, but let me say this with 2 scenarios as a lone developer.
1) I make changes and submit the working code to SVN, later I rewrite anothe component then relise that the previous code I wrote worked better. So I can revision the changes to that file and revert back rather than recode from memory. 2) I have an open source application, I have released V0.2 and rather than wait for all bugs to be found I start working on V0.3 but before I do that I branch the code. Now this allows me to continue working on V0.3 and anytime a bug is found in V0.2 I can switch back to it an fix the problem. Then I can submit back to that branch, now if this is also going to be a problem for V0.3 I can now merge that code with that version and switch back and continue on with V0.3 There are many more scenarios, but I think you can see the benefits already. Well I hope you can:-) On 5/8/07, Rick Faircloth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > The question I have on this topic is would I, as an individual developer, > benefit from source control, or is this something only teams of developers > need to worry about. > > I can see versioning being useful... being able to "roll back" to a > previous > version of a site would be helpful.
