Goodbye ftp, hello beautiful sexy Subversion.
A Seed Planted
Ever since reading Bryan Veloso’s article on using Subversion with Media Temple a couple years ago, I’ve been meaning to get svn set up on my own servers. It offers so many advantages over transferring files up to the server via ftp. Between the fantastic version control features, mega fast updates, and the ease of use once setup, it sounded like a dream come true. I’m not sure if it was because of the seemingly overwhelming amount of documentation, the plethora of terminal kung-fu, or sheer procrastination, but after all this time I avoided it.
