This is semi gp2x related, since it's for development in general - and since this appears to be the most active forum regarding development in general, I figured a few of you are familiar with subversion and other version control software, so please help! (mods, if there is a better place for this please move it).
First, a quick intro. I've been coding for over a decade now, professionally for 8. I started with qbasic, then vbasic, then c, c++, finally found my home with html/php/css/flash. That's probably my favorite combo when it comes to programming, in fact, I haven't used c for so long, I am no longer familiar with it - and don't care to be!
Now the explanation: I have been involved in many large scale projects lately, working with 3-5 people on projects, and version control is getting out of hand. I have looked into subversion a few times over the years - it seems to be exactly what I need, yet not even close. To be specific - it has all the features I need: file locking+merging, history archive, tracking the actual changes by line# and etc., keeping a repository automatically making copies to edit, and so on)
The problem is, everytime I install some SVN client, I am overwhelmed with all the folders and additional files it makes. I only want to track the files related to the project, not all these additional folders and etc.
Is there a simplified client made more for html/actionscript/text files as opposed to c++, binaries, etc? I assume that any text file (.as, .html, .css, etc.) can be tracked line by line, and I don't care much about parsing the .fla, .swf, .jpg, etc. files as long as it can tell if a file has changed, etc.
Any suggestions? I have read many many many tutorials on SVN, including ones dedicated to maintaining flash projects, but none have cleared it up for me. I like to think of myself as capable of learning new things, but this just has my mind in knots. Thanks!
