svn

We recently got stuck supporting an outdated & nasty, 3rd party shopping cart application. You know the type... procedural, code soup comprised of 100's of nested functions, global variables and poor naming conventions. Complicating matters, the client also required a comprehensive front-end redesign on a very aggressive schedule.

We use Subversion (SVN) at the Creative Department to keep track of all changes made to client files and efficiently log a developer's intent when making a change. Because some on our team are not specifically predisposed to command line syntax and others actually fear it or harbor great disdain for anything lacking buttons, I put together this list of common SVN commands to help alleviate the pain.
