Should I copy svn folders when working offsite?

You could just create a patch file of your changes. As you seem to be using tortoise, here is info on how to create and apply patches with tortoisesvn. You can also do this using the svn diff command and applying the patch file to another working copy using the patch command.

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.
