Version control. It's kind of like Time Machine in that you have the ability to maintain incremental backups but with the added ability to "check out" documents so only one user can edit at a time or to merge changes back into the main repository should more than one user make changes to the same document. It's great, but I don't like any of the SVN clients available on the Mac. Maybe in Coda 2!

.......oh lord :/
If you're working with any sort of text files (html, css, code) - version control is invaluable.
I know you're all mostly designer types, and I'm a designer/code hybrid monster, but seriously - it's worth your effort to learn how to use SVN, even the command line client.
I can't count the number of times I've asked myself "why is this broken? what have i changed?". Version control can answer that question and much more.
Instead of using ftp to transfer your entire site to your server, you can just "check out" the site to your server, and update the files that have changed.
- True, but not when you use FrontPage. Jesus!Jaline
- you're using frontpage? i'm sorry...********

so, after looking this up, svn is a protocol to help you manage your files and file versions right on the server as opposed to using ftp, which is more time consuming and not intuitive like svn... am I close?

yeah, you got it. It's a system, everyone must buy into. When you "check in" a file, you should leave a note as to what you did. So if you need to go back to something, you can figure out what each change is. Mostly used in dev. applications, but, more and more companies are using it as a system to backup and archive projects.

wow! thanks for all the replies :)
Now can anyone tell me if there is a quick way of applying a class to a tag??
I somehow can't imagine that there isn't but can't find it all the same.

Coda 1.5 is in beta testing - www.panic.com/hive - did anyone here manage to get in the beta team?
