Re: [AVR-Chat] Source Control/Version Control for AVR projects

2011-10-25 by Dennis Clark

I'm a Subversion fan myself and use it at home and at my day job.  I 
have to admit that choosing between SVN and CVS is a bit like the 
"tastes great"/"less filling" beer commercial.  :-)

Now, if I could just find something as good as TortoiseSVN for the Mac 
I'd be in heaven...

We do frequent backups of the repository, and the repo is composed of a simple directory structure of flat files so it is easy to do a complete backup to a thumb drive to carry with you for a little extra peace of mind.

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
