Advice on version control setup for website development?

I think any version control will help you immensely. The topic of which one is controversial (approaching religious! ) and you will get loads of pros and cons for each.

Here's my take. I'm quite familiar with subversion and somewhat familiar with git. While git is new and cool and has some arguably great features, I find subversion much easier to use on a daily basis in a work environment and I have yet to find anyone with a convincing argument for why having local versioned copies of a repository is vastly superior to using subversion.

I do like using github for collaborating with open source projects however, for some reason it seems a more natural environment. Conclusion? It actually probably doesn't matter that much, pick one that you are comfortable enough with that you will actually use it (and it sounds to me like that is subversion).

It is my understanding that distributed version control systems are better suited for this, but I do not know if this is actually true, and if so, how big the difference is. I don't like the idea of handling a lot of conflicts during a revert, it should be as easy as possible. – Jan-Henk Jan 5 at 20:40 git/hg may well do a better job since the model for dvcs implies a need for better conflict handling due to the non-linear nature of the commit stream.

I seem to recall needing to doing this kind of thing with subversion and it was a bit of a PITA but then I was pretty new to subversion at the time and probably could find a better way now. You should check the git/hg commands to see if this can be done in a single step. I doubt you will end up with less conflicts but it may be more easily accomplished (less steps, less error prone).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
