Re: Question about version control.. sorta..

Thanks for the recommendations, everyone. I decided to give Subversion another try, since I had a server already set up from when I tried this a while ago. Reinstalled TortoiseSVN for Windows and got it all configured. But I couldn't figure out how to update existing files in the repository without checking them out. I tried using the RepoBrowser and I could add new items by dragging them to the browser, but if I tried to drag something that already existed, I got an error. Is there any way to reimport as a new version? In particular, I'd love to have it just import changed files. I'd love to also be able to select a date and get a copy of the directory in question as it appeared on that date. I'm sure there's ways to do this with SVN, but it's eluding me. I'll keep looking, but I'm thinking that SVN is overkill for what I need, even though it's in the right ballpark. The other option mentioned, FileHamster, has potential, but I'd rather control my own server and storage requirements. Plus I didn't see a way to either whitelist of blacklist file types. I really just want to back up script files and not the PDFs and other large files. So either whitelisting by file type (or blacklisting if necessary) or even doing it by file size would be fine. My web host supports rsync, but I don't think I've seen any version control options for rsync. This seems like a fairly basic request, but it's stumping me. -TG ----- Original Message ----- From: Micah Gersten <micah@onshore.com> To: Richard Heyes <richard@php.net> Cc: TG <tg-php@gryffyndevelopment.com>, php-general@lists.php.net Date: Wed, 31 Dec 2008 20:06:25 -0600 Subject: Re: [PHP] Question about version control.. sorta.. > Richard Heyes wrote: > >> The other issue is that I run Windows.
