I have downloaded SVNLite for evaluation, and I am confused about how to integrate SVN into my workflow from within DW.

We create data-driven applications, so before I would:

1. Configure and create local site on my computer in DW Site Manager for development.
2. Configure Testing (Staging) server in DW Site Manager for evaluation and approval.
3. Configure Remote (Live) site in DW Site Manager to upload files to live server after approval.

We need version control for our projects and have settled on Subversion. I am comfortable with using it from the command line, but want to integrate it into DW. So I am thinking it would look something like this:

1. Create subversion project if not already existing (from Grafx ext)
2. Check out files from SVN to DW local site as needed
3. Develoment
4. Upload to testing server through DW site manager if required
5. Upload to Live Site via DW Site Manager
6. Check-in/Commit/Branch finished product to SVN store (via Grafx ext)

Is this how you envision the process using your extension?

Thanks!

Yes, you have described very good how SVN for DW is work.

You can create new module (or checkout an existing one), then Add/Commit all files and after you modify a file and test it on DW Files manager (Test Server) then you can again Commit a modified file, adding also description and so on.
Hope this help.
