Keeping the code on Trac

We've had a few mishaps with our source code management in the past week, mostly due to our inexperience with with the wonderful Subversion system. Thankfully there's been no permanent damage, on the contrary, we learned more about how Subversion operates and how that differed from our expectations. Regardless, we're further along the way to meeting these guidelines, which is important to me.

I'd investigated using Trac previously but was sidetracked (no pun intended). Now I had a real need to view the changelog and see what had gone wrong, so I finished off setting it up and it works a treat. Alongside the great source viewing/repository capabilities it offers bug and ticket tracking, and a wiki for maintaining casual documentation. Being able to view a snapshot of the repository at a historical point, with full syntax-highlighted diffs is mintox.

If you're running Subversion, definitely check out Trac.

    I linked to an image that was protected by .htaccess. Fixed now.
