I have never used SVN, but am familiar with some SM (source safe a looong time ago). The project is a web-based project hosted with an ISP (hosting.com). The group I'm working with is using Dreamweaver, and I found a tutorial for using SVN, but I have what I'm sure are some really basic questions...
1) What is the best way to get the files from ISP to projectlocker? (initial check in)
2) I currently save the file locally, then upload (put) with DW. Will I need to do a put to projectlocker, then a separate put to the server?
3) Can someone explain how I can manage the versioning?
I know these are really wide open questions. If some has a good M for the RTFM solution please advise. I'm trying to get in at the "for dummies" level with a "bible" resource I can go to later.
Pretty much everything you need in terms of Dreamweaver SVN functionality is in Adobe's Using Subversion with Dreamweaver tutorial.
You'll need to get the files from your ISP down to a local path on your machine before committing them to SVN.
The process of committing to source control is independent of that to publishing to a web server. You'll (hopefully) commit very frequently to Subversion compared to publishing to your hosting provider.
