Introducing SVN, best practices for people that work together without any version control

Hi all,

we are introducing subversion in our development department (30ppl). Most
of us have single projects and work alone which makes the introduction
quite easy (well, more and more collaborative work is coming so it's the
time now to get a system into the department). Some of the people work
together already on a single project and share the sourcecode (by copying
it!), everyone works on his files and every 6 weeks they do a manual merge
(which takes half a day). So now we are in the situation that such a merge
would have to take place, and at the same time we start with subversion.

My question is how to go on...

1. first do the manual merge and then introduce svn
2. install svn, do the merge with svn

If we do the merge with svn, how shall we proceed? Put both version into
the db, or only one, and then merge them on a local copy?

I am a bit clueless atm...

Thanks,
