SVN, or "Subversion" is one of many version control systems. Its useful for teams to have a central "repository" they can cooperatively contribute to. It stores all previous revisions (versions) of files, allows you to see individual changes, allows you to merge your changes with a newer version (if someone else updated), and more. Git is a slightly different version control system that focuses on being distributed instead of centralized. I haven't checked the status of git on Windows recently, but for a while it was iffy. Maybe someone else can comment on this. Apache has some information on Subversion here: http://www.apache.org/dev/version-control.html Wikipedia here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subversion_(software) I haven't used Windows in a while, but a very simple, newbie friendly interface was Tortoise SVN. It is an extension for Windows Explorer: http://tortoisesvn.net/ - Joseph Pecoraro --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
