@ric@mastodon.qweb.co.uk @llamasoft_ox@toot.wales @sinbad@mastodon.gamedev.place @psychicparrot42@mastodon.gamedev.place The BIG thing about SVN is not that it just keeps N versions of files you can come back to, it's the fact that does the MERGES and when it can not warns you about the conflicts ! Suppose you have N > 1 people working on different parts of the same document(s). That is what SVN is useful for.

@gilesgoat@toot.wales @llamasoft_ox@toot.wales @sinbad@mastodon.gamedev.place @psychicparrot42@mastodon.gamedev.place yeah, you'd still use SVN for that. Dropbox isn't a replacement, it's more for device synchronisation and backup than as a way of working. But once it's installed and set to watch the folders you want it to watch, you just leave it to it. And anything that you don't actively need on device currently, you just stop synchronising that folder and delete locally, leaving it remote for future sync.
