It's a great tool. But I'm still going to be creating zip backups of every version before I commit. I've run into a number of weird problems with Tortoise and if I hadn't had my backups I'd have lost quite a bit of work.
As Waldermar mentionned...
I also agree and do the same as pallen.
I've got stories about how people abuse SVN and can create a bloody nightmare when multiple developers work on the same project. It's so bad that it makes Local Variables look good..
Imagine many people checking out code and checking it in and being able to overwrite whatever was there previously. Then two people editing the same VI because they are calling it from their own VI but need to adjust the behavior / change the connectors on the connector pane...
What do you get?
- sigh -
As with anything, if you use a good tool the wrong way, you get a mess.
Which is why I also do zipped backup which are dated. That makes them unique and no one else can mess with them. So far, it's worked well.
