Best Practices for Subversion (SVN)

Subversion, or SVN, is a free, powerful, open-source version control system that is the de-facto standard in many IT firms. This video is extracted from the course SVN Fundamentals at the RMI that explains what Subversion is, why its use is considered standard in many of the top development teams in the world, and what it can do.

Thanks, good advice!

But I found it found your audio comments a little bit out of sync with the video text which made it harder to listen...

3. "You can also lock text file, but it's more important with binaries".

While this is a true statement, I think it is fairly well accepted that, "You can also lock text files, but this is generally note recommended".

A conflict CANNOT occur in the repo! It can only occur in your local copy. svn will not let you commit if one (or mroe) of the files is outof date, so you must update before a commit and hence deal with any conflicts in your local copy.
