Hi Reinier, (wrote on Date: Sat, 14 Apr 2012) ...
thanks for all your specific and encouraging comments, and taking the time to comment even though you are quite busy right now. I've looked at the link you suggested, it looks helpful. In order to try to get lazsvnpkg to do something for me, I might just set up an SVN server that I can have full control over on my printer sharing box at home (it's not doing too much else). I'll also play with the basic gui based SCM's such as TortoiseSVN (on my wife's windows box, I'm using a mac) just to get familiar with what others have done. Reinier, thanks again for all your help and suggestions ============== Hi Hans-Peter, (who wrote on Sat, 14 Apr 2012) SNIP ... > The IDE should allow to put a > project under control of a VCS, and then puts all related files and > directories (source, config...) under version conrol (or removes them > again, when deleted or moved).

Yes, I think these "less than trivial operations" would be better handled "outside of the box". Hans-Peter, thanks for your comments and suggestions.
