Twin Cities Code Camp

Many Windows developers have used Visual SourceSafe their entire career. Most of us know there are other source code control tools out there but have never had any exposure to them. In this session I will introduce Subversion, a free, open source version control system. First we will take a look at what tools are available for use with Subversion (command line, TortoiseSVN, AnkhSVN). Next we will cover some basic concepts about versioning models and Subversion's implementation and then walk though how a developer works with Subversion on a daily basis. After looking at daily developer usage we will dive into some more advanced topics Subversion administrators will need to understand and power users will want to know about including branching, merging, creating and applying patches, repository setup and structuring, and integration with issue tracking systems.
