I have a few blog posts on setting up a Subversion server with a few web based tools. And a good post on the Subversive plugin for CFBuilder.
http://www.trunkful.com/index.cfm/SVNVersion-Control You are correct in that you need a "server" for the team to access. P1: You need to use an SVN client such as tortoise or subversive and do an Import. P2: Jenkins is a good solution for pushing code to a staging server upon commit. P3: Read this: http://www.trunkful.com/index.cfm/2011/7/11/ColdFusion-Builder-2-and-the-Subversive-Plugin P4: Subversion does not do "locking" is the sense that CVS or TFS do. Typically you check out the code and edit then commit. If someone else is also editing the same file and checks it in before you do then you are required to reconcile the differences, merge and then commit the merge with their and your changes. There are several good PDF versions of Subversion books out there. I think one is even open source/free.
