Well, first of all, be aware that Subversion is a lot easier to use than git. For example, it won't allow you to modify history, which is always a good thing. And in general, the learning curve is much shallower. The best reference IMO is here: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ Chapter 2 will tell you everything you need to know to get started. -- Brane -- Branko Čibej | Director of Subversion WANdisco // Non-Stop Data e.
