Will, I just read your suggestions and tips, I think you have misunderstood what Subversion is all about. Here is what you have written, followed by my comments.
================================================================= *THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP 7. COMMIT! Now, whenever you make changes to your website project, you'll notice a little red icon on the folder when viewing it in Windows Explorer. This says hey, changes have been made to your website, and they don't match with what's in your repository. Right click > SVN commit A fancy little window pops up showing you the changes that were made. Check off the boxes of items you'd like to commit. You can even enter some messages in the window above. Also, right click inside that top window and choose "paste filename list". When complete, SVN has saved the current version of your website. Remember to commit EVERY time you make changes to your website. If you don't using SVN is about useless. ================================================================= This is not what SVN is about, SVN is a version control system and really takes a different approach to understand that. The idea behind developing code is that you develop away until you are confident that the task is finished, or is as stable as possible. Not necessarily the last bit, but if you run unit testing and a TDD environment then the stable bit comes into play. This is why it is called a version control system, not a place to make a change save it go on with something else etc. Although this is ok, I just think that people really need to look at the methodology with more indepth of what version control is. Now if you're lucky enough to actually be developing with Eclipse then this blog I wrote might be of interested because you do not need SVN for this and this is more about making changes than commiting to a SVN repository. http://www.andyscott.id.au/index.cfm/2007/5/9/Eclipse-hidden-gem I hope I haven't confused you even more? But it is important that people don't treat SVN repositories for just throwing files into the repository just because they make a change and are going home for the night sort of thing. Constant file backups are for this sort of thing...
