I got a subversion repo. up and running on my desktop at home over the weekend. The reasoning was two fold – 1. A manageable way to work on some of my projects from my desktop and from my laptop without anything like rsync or copying directly. 2. To get familiar with subversion at last! And wow – I”m not particularly excited about how easy it was to setup, browse or the speed of it checking out / committing – but simply excited about the lack of network access required to work away on the code base! Perforce and CVS – two version control systems I’ve used before heavily are a dog for this – and even with network access, if it’s low bandwidth – the pause between opening for edit and editing is significant. So wahey subversion!
