This is something that is Trac power and weakness. Most Trac like software establish some sort of workflow that you must follow, Trac instead is a liberate in that matter. One problem with corporate users often seek ready to use solutions that have quite straight forward workflows and ways to use software. With Subversion you can do pretty much everything that you do with normal files, svnbook just represent one "trunk, tags and branches" way to work, but people seem to use that quite often. http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracBooks contains one book to read about "realworld" usage. I haven't read it though so hard to tell is it any good. -- Jani Tiainen "Tein sein mihin näillä lahjoilla pystyin.
