Tortoise SVN Presentation 4/20/2017

[ASTDan]

Hello,

Here is the presentation I gave regarding Source Code Control in LabVIEW.

I updated the presentation to include links to Mercurial and GIT.

Thanks everyone for coming out

Thanks Dan.  I definitely work with the Lock-Modify-Commit paradigm.  With binary files and LVCompare/LVMerge I had too many issues.  When code is broken up into modules (or actors) it makes it easier for one developer to just lock that one subset of code and work on it so I didn't find I was stepping on other developers toes much by locking files they wanted access to.

Another thing I didn't see mentioned was setting up the server repository.  I've been using Visual SVN Server, which is free even for commercial use, and gives basic control over things like repositories, users, and an administrator console if needed.  Basically a single installer that takes care of most of it.
