I think I have a reasonable grasp of what it does. I got the impression from Jeff that you have a written description of how it is actually used. That's the piece I'm currently missing. How is it used on a day-to-day basis. Sometime soon -- probably within the next two weeks -- I need to put together enough of an explanation for myself and my colleagues at work so that we can begin using it effectively no later than the middle of next month. The system is set up and running on one of our servers at work and I've been able to load a few things into it, but they're just some initial files. I'm working on an approach to a presentation, with some specific code evolution in about ten steps. Based on what I've read, and the discussion last night, I see no particular reason to change the /trunk /branches /tags setup for now. Agreeing with Clay's comment, I do expect to keep each application development project in a separate repository. I presume that means something like Inventory as an application. I am not sure whether that means "project" in the sense that Microsoft uses the term in developing a .Net "solution", which may contain multiple so-called "projects". Please advise / clarify if possible. However, the documentation I have suggests that only certain files should be kept in the repository. The implication seems to be that only human readable source code should be included and that any binary or .dll files should not be included. Given that we are using .Net, that makes sense, but any clarification here would also be useful. There was a secondary discussion about bug tracking. I'm aware of several such tools, including "Bugzilla". Clay mentioned something else. I'm also aware of a highly recommended commercial product called FogBugz. Any comments on any of these would be appreciated. Thanks for all the input. And thanks for any further help. -Frank <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- *================================================================* * Frank Dolinar <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:frank.dolinar@comcast.net">frank.dolinar@comcast.net</a> * * PO Box 886 517.351.1899 * * East Lansing, MI 48826-0886 * *================================================================* </pre> </body> </html>
