hosted Subversion account - how to setup?
« on: August 01, 2012, 04:19:42 pm »
i would like to use version control in my team, not just for me personally ( i have never done this before, so please excuse my ignorance :-). i am thinking about setting up new project on a hosted SVN account. However, in Project -> Version control -> Version control settings if i choose "Subversion" then the only settings i can make is a local working copy path + subversion exe path - does this mean that i can only use local subversion on my pc?

Maxwell,

If you use a version control system then you should know that there is usually a central repository, and each user has its local copy of this repository.
When you now check-in the local changes get uploaded to the central repository.

Just the same thing happens when you use EA. You tell it where your local copy goes. EA will then issue the "check-in" command to your subversion client passing the files as parameters. That SVN client knows for each local working folder which central repository to check-in to, so EA doesn't have to know.
