> And from what I glean from the conversations, SVN is *not* working?!?!
SVN maintains a "working copy" in your local directories, which is where
it stores the latest repo version for comparisons to provide the status
that indicates which files have changed. A recent update to the format
of the metadata that's stored in the working copy was incompatible with
previous versions. Not a problem as long as you're using a client that
knows how to automatically update the local copy to the new version
(TortoiseSVN for example).
Dreamweaver doesn't know how to do that and also doesn't know how to
work with the newer version. So the only way to use DW's SVN features is
to make sure that you don't use any of the recent versions of Tortoise
or any other newer SVN clients that perform the update. I was already
using Tortoise and keep up to date on it. Once you've updated, there's
no simple way to go back.
There *is* a way to go back, but it involves installing Python, which
I'm not keen on doing. I suppose I could probably just blow away my
working directories and start over from scratch in Dreamweaver, that
might be easier. I would still have to go fetch an older version of
Tortoise (or uninstall it) to make sure that my working copies don't get
automatically updated by accident. It's just a big PITA really.
So yes it works, but it's a big frustration because it doesn't work the
way it ought to. Was the only feature I was really looking forward to in
CS4, that's why I'm so frustrated by it.
