Ideal Subversion Setup
From: David Burleson <david_at_ephotozine.com>
Date: Wed, 16 Dec 2009 16:00:41 +0000 Hi Everyone, I have been using subversion with TortoiseSVN for a couple of years now. I work in a team of 3 web developers on multiple websites. Im starting to wonder if the way we use subversion and version control is the correct way. So, I have posted to ask advice on the best way to use Subversion in a web development team with multiple projects. We currently each have our own development area on a local web server for each project. We also each have our own SVNcheckout of each project. Once we have checked out/updated our 'repo' we drag the contents over to our development area to work. Once we are finished working, we drag the files back over to our 'repo' and commit it. I have a feeling that the better process is to make your development area the SVNcheckout. My only problems is how subversion and TortoiseSVN handle symlinks and file/dir permissions. We have a couple of symlinks for folders like 'images' so we don't have to duplicate the directories on the webserver and some folders which we upload files too have 777 permissions and what not. I don't know if subversion or TortoiseSVN will pass these own and treat the symlink as a symlink and not a folder, and pass the permission into the 'repo' too. I would greatly appreciate any feedback on the ideal setup for this occasion as I'm looking for ways to streamline our development process. Please note that im not a regular user of mailing lists, so I apologise if I have/haven't done something correctly to post this email to the list.
