I must be making progress, because now I'm on the development team, sort of, for a major project, as I'm assisting the developer of one small area of libgphoto2, if you call that a major project. I figured I'm likely to do something that will trash my development system, so I used VirtualBox to create a VM just for this project. This way, no matter how badly I wreck the "development" system, my "production" system (I only have the one box) will remain usable.

Anyway, I'm on a development team for this project which uses SVN. I think I need to keep three separate versions on my "development" system: (a) the latest SVN version, (b) the latest SVN version plus whatever the developer sends me (as I think I'm the only other person involved, he just emails me, instead of using "svn commit" for every minor change), and (c) the latest SVN version plus whatever the developer sends me plus whatever changes I'm trying out.

So... can anybody suggest how can I keep track of all three versions on my one "development" system without going crazy? Has anybody else found a method that works for them? Or a better way to organize the whole thing? Thanks for any help, suggestions, or clarification on this!

Adam
