AW: Easy get started howto

Hi Kenneth,

As he's working on windows I would recommend to take a look at tortoiseSVN. It's by far the most easy to use interface for people familiar with using GUIs to do their work. It blends in with the regular file manager and is nearly as feature rich as the subversion command line client. Me and my collegues use it a work and we haven't been down to the command line since we deployed it. You can use it to set up a local repository if you don't want to mess with a server. It's available at http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org

Regards,

Lars.

I have a friend who is a part-time VB developer (full-time zoo keeper) who
is unfamiliar with any version control software. I recommended he use
subversion and not worry about the complex details until he needs them. I
don't think he'll take my advice without a very simple how-to on getting
started using a local repository for simple, small projects. I would like
to point him to such a how-to. I'm sure he would find it indispensable,
but without a step by step how-to I don't think he'll give it a chance.

Is there such a how-to online somewhere? In particular is there a windows
centric how-to? I use Linux and I'm not sure how the command lines
translate when using subversion so I'm not confident my help is what he
needs.

Thanks.
