Implementing Subversion!!!

Hi all,

I am a newbie to subversion, who is proposing it implementation in the
New Media department

of the company i work for.

Developers in my department work as follows:

1) All development & testing occurs on an intranet server.
2) One project directory (on the intranet server) is shared by all developers.
3) This same directory is used by IIS as the local version of a web project.
4) Nothing is done on a developers local machine.
4) All changes to a project good or bad are instantly viewable by the
dev team & management.

With the implementation of subversion the developers want to work in
pretty much the same

way. So I am trying to figure out how to emulate this environment with
subversion.

Obviously the central project directory can't be the repository
because you can't run a

website off it.

Then there is the option of sharing a working copy of a project, but i
don't think you can

do that???

My final thought then is the option of creating one working copy of a
project which can be

used as the main project directory (powering the intranet).

Then individual developers can check out their working copies of a
project, make adjustments

and commit changes to the repository. This in turn invokes a hook
script that updates the

working copy powering the intranet.

The problem with the last item is, because developers won't be testing
locally having to

perform a commit just to view the progress of their work on the
intranet could cause

astronomical version control numbers and repository database sizes;
and might be a tad

ridiculous in implementation.

We are working on a windows intranet server!!!

Would love any input, on how i can implement subversion to acheive the
required results.

Is it possible?

If not, what must we do to get around any hurdles.

Cheers,
Adam
