SVN for the first time...
It's my first time to use SVN. It's funny how I first got acquainted with Visual Sourcesafe than this opensource tool. I think Most Java developers would typically get involved in SVN than VSS. But now though, I'm quite happy learning about SVN. It wasn't very hard to set it up with my IDE(RAD7/Eclipse), online instruction here. It was a little confusing at first(coming from the VSS background; where is the Set Working Folder menu? hehehe). I'll try setting up a local server for it at home so I could also use it on my personal projects.
One thing I noticed about it though... We currently have a local drive and a network drive. We were instructed to put our files on the network drive because it has a backup. However, when I tried Checking out on the network drive, the icons(status) didn't show up. When I tried checking out again on my local drive, the icons showed up. So I decided to use the local drive anyway since the source is technically, also backed up on the repository.
