Implementing Subversion w/ TortoiseSVN
I've known of the benefits of version control especially Subversion for a while now, but for whatever reasons, I hadn't made "the leap" until now. I bookmarked the series Configuring a Development Environment with Apache, Subversion, TortoiseSVN, and Subclipse most recently, but like many of my bookmarks it sat unread for a while. What is different is that Monday evening I began reading it and implementing it as I went along. I've read and worked through Parts 1-3 augmented with The ACME Guide and am now using a repository with one of my current projects. While the articles are great and were able to get me up and running, I have found I have a need for a quick reference while I am still getting comfortable with the process.
