Todd,
I'm working on a solution for our BI team.
The guys create reports that are in use, when they make changes i want to version and store the earlier one.
If the new report has issues, replace this with the earlier instance.
So, i want this guys to add to source control, checkin / checkout.
But i dont want them to deleted the older instance.
The existing workaround requires people to make a copy of the report, zip it and store it for safe-keeping.
i agree, subversion is not made for this activity. I'm trying to look for a solution that is easy to setup and own.
