I would say Happy Birthday as well but its a little weird saying to what is pretty much just a collection of files and a database..

Anyway..

Happy Birthday..

Comment on Snow by Andrew

We might be ringing you on Saturday night then. Hopefully everything will be OK. At least we are on Saturday so have a couple of days to get there until we start work again. Saw earlier they are having a grit crisis in Germany as well.

Will be interesting to see their perspective of the Brit’s paralasis after only a couple of inches of snow.

Thats come nice snow you got there. Must have had about 3in here and is still the good kind of snow, its not iced up yet..

I’ll let you know if Birmingham gets over run by snow again, assuming your going from Birmingham airport.

Welcome to crash/stop by in the warm if you get any issues etc!

We were supposed to be going to Widnes today but the road outside was just a sheet of ice and we wouldn’t have got the car up it so still here.
It’s not so bad now though another hour and we might not be so trapped anymore.

The back end is simple enough to set up, once you have the server running, which you can install as a service on Windows. running svnadmin create path_to_file will make a repository, if this is the same folder that the service is looking at then it will work straight off. A few minor edits to the config files to set permissions and your all set.
As for saving, there is 1 file that represents an entire revision, named after it’s number. This has only the changes from the previous revision, and even then if you only change part of the file then only the new part will be saved, not the whole file. This makes it really small. If you added a new 100mb file that revision file would be 100mb but if you never changed none of the ones after it would be.
I think that is how it works anyway.

Glad the WHS is going ok. Your the second person I have made see the light that is WHS! It really is awesome though!

I use TortoiseSVN its quite easy to use! Not much experience on the back end of it though.. Does it save pervious versions of files then?
