Last week I gave a presentation to the San Diego ColdFusion User Group on integrating subversion into a ColdFusion development environment. The powerpoint can be found on the SDCFUG site, or can be downloaded directly from here.
Here's an outline of the presentation:
- Why Version Control
- How Version Control Works
- Development Models w/Version Control
- Subversion vs. VSS
- Subversion vs. CVS
- Where to Get Subversion
- Server Setup – Install
- Server Setup – User Accounts
- Server Setup – New SVN Repository
- Server Setup – Repository Structure
- Server Setup – Import Application
- Client Setup – Subclipse Plugin
- Client Setup – TortoiseSVN
- Howto – Checkout
- Howto – Checkin
- Howto – Add/Delete Files
- Howto – Resolve Conflicts
- Advanced – Automating Export Script
- Advanced – Branching
- Advanced – Merging
- Advanced – Patches
- Resources
I plan on covering some of the subjects in greater detail with future blog posts.
I've got a meeting tomorrow (talk about timely!) where we'll be discussing a new, good-sized CF dev environment. Mind if I use any of these materials there?

Why do you recommend using the file system? It was probably explained in the talk, but there's no detail on this subject in the powerpoint.

File based is superior in virtually every way, most notably the item marked "Sensitivity to interruptions" says about BDB: "very; crashes and permission problems can leave the database 'wedged', requiring journaled recovery procedures."
