Hi All: I'm finally taking the leap to source control, and have started by installing visualSVN on server 2008 R2 and installing TortoiseSVN and VisualSVN plugin for VS2010 on my development box.
I have VisualSVN/Apache running on the server and have created a repository there.
I have a couple of website projects that I've been working on locally and publishing to the server using web deployment. I want to place these websites under source control at the server, so that I can work on them simultaneously with another developer.
Do I start by adding each website on the server as a project to the repository, and then create a local copy on my development box using the VisualSVN plugin using "get solution from subversion"?
Do I need to install TortoiseSVN on the server to manage copying the websites into the repository and then putting them under source control?
Once I'm using VisualSVN plugin, I should remove web deployment from the websites?
If there are any best practices or gotcha's with this scenario please let me know!
