Robert,
Thanks for responding. I have some more questions now. What do you mean
by "head"? I have an idea, but it's perhaps an overly simplistic one.
What is "tagged"? Also, where do your CF files actually live? Do you
keep like a "latest copy" in your webroot or something? Or do you create
a virtual directory (presuming you're using IIS) that points to the latest?
Thanks heaps,
Chris

Chris,
I use Subversion all the time at work and can tell you what happens
here. When a new project is created there is only the head to code on,
all new work is always done on the head. Once a project gets to a
version (minor or major) it's tagged. Mostly tags are used for major
releases like a version 1.0 but they could easily be for a version
"1.1 bug fix". These tagged versions allow us to checkout a project as
live production and if a problem arises check back out that exact
version. It also tells us that at this point the code was at a
functioning state.
One thing you can do is if you are bug fixing production code is to
make a fork from the tagged version. This splits the source into a
separate development area that doesn't interfere with the current
development work at the head. After the bug has been fixed on the fork
you can merge it into the head.
Hope this helped.
Robert
