So I found out you guys are using tortoise SVN for your version control. We have been using it for the past 2 years or so and I would be interested to find out what you guys thought about it?

love it?

hate it?

hate it but ....the price is right!

do you guys use it for other things besides code management? e.g. Documentation etc?

we're using SVN pretty succcessfully.

want to write a bridge to tangler (maybe an email input) so we can do build status updates

I use SVN, but not tortoise

Set it up so I can access it through my IDE, and checkins get automatically deployed to a dev server

Barely notice it's there now

Tortoise SVN is great, haven't had any issues with it. Although most of the time I use an Eclipse SVN plugin to manage my source.

Using version control tools like SVN suck for calabrotive ifor documentation. Get a wiki.

Craig to use it  publish your dev test & prod versions?

We use a trunk branch & tag system to manage our dev work & maintenance.

Our dev test & prod servers are simply checked out versions from the SVN server.

We use a full release management mthodology as well... none of the developers are allowed to publish code to the servers... we have a document that has to be signed off by the DBA's, clients, testers, project sponsor & manager...
The release guy then just right clicks on the app directory and picks "update"

We also keep stored proc's & scripts for the DBA's in there too.

We don't use it for formal documentation either, (BA stuff) but we really should

One thing I really hate about it is its directory/tree refreshing.... complete lack of it!!!
