Subversion is very simple once you get use to a front end - tortoise svn is one of the better ones - many large developers use svn as the internal source control system on the LAN - if your using SS at work, branch out to SVN at home :)
You can check out one file at a time, you just need to select it, and apply lock - remove lock when your done Adam If you open an account at the planet, you get svn, and cvs, and a few other tools in the yearly account fee. -------- Owner Nigredo Studios http://www.nigredostudios.com --- On Mon, 24/8/09, Olly <[email protected]> wrote: From: Olly <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Source control solution?
