Record as I Am

Tech && Soccer && PHP Coding - More Bolivian than America expected.

The feature I've been looking forward to the most, merge tracking, made it into the latest Subversion release. I'm not sure why, but branching/merging has been a conceptually scary thing for me for a long time. I'd always be afraid that somehow I'd mess up the merge and lose updates or somehow mangle my code beyond repair.

The more I use subversion, the more I find ways to make it do more heavy lifting for me.  I'm not talking about the kind of subversion that gets you a one way ticket to gitmo, but the open source version control system.  I use it to manage my websites here, to keep them updated with the development copies I work on at home.

I've been using Subversion heavily lately to keep my live and development sites synchronized and its been a huge productivity booster.  I had to move some code over to a lite site for work this evening and it was such a pain, because I had to go through and figure out the files I needed to copy.
