Last week I installed Subversion both at home and at work. Subversion? Subversion. Its an open source revision control application, like CVS or SourceSafe.

I figured at some time I’d be forced to use a revision control system. Hasn’t happened yet. Its weird, but I had all sorts of fun sticking things in Subversion. I persuaded it to play with Apache which isn’t overly straight forward (especially on a Windows box – its much easier on Linux).

What does it all do? Well, it allows you to manage stuff you create/edit. In theory, if there is ever a problem, you can revert back to when the problem wasn’t there. Its also handy if you have multiple people working on the same stuff (not a problem yet, but hopefully sometime in the future). Its just Good Stuff.
