Wow, fascinating stuff, thanks for the peek!  I really commend the Joomla team for its openness and interest in the community.  The time Rey spent putting this together is just one fine example.  My only question -- what happened to commits 3592 and 3594?  (They are not listed in the screenshot from TortoiseSVN)

Whooa! 11 Countries.  Just the core development team.  I once tried to use a version control system but didnot pursue it because I
was busy with coding at the moment and most of the core apps such as operations and hrd modules are assigned to me alone, so no
conflicts there.  What we do have here is a scheduled cron job which updates or syncronizes files of local and public servers but not like
what Joomla's uses, that creates an entry of who changed what and when and how many changes have been done.  I also noticed
that most libraries of the Joomla 1.8 I downladed was last updated by you.  Such dedicated work by people scattered around the world.
Thank you for explaining to us how the Joomla Code is Managed.

@stingrey As you can see on one of those screens you've put up on that post, a lot of people lately is not putting comments on their commits, making it harder both for other core developers and the rest of us really seing what the hell they did to the code.

I would imagine it would be less time-consuming to keep track of commits when a comment is attached. So, it would be great not only making it a standard commenting each commit, but also put some effort into making them more explanatory so others can keep the pace in the repository.

Salamat Rey! That's a very interesting post. It's like reading a story book!

Thanks for the writeup, good stuff.
I am wondering if the entire setup with SVN, and such is something I as an very smalltime phpdeveloper would benefit from? Are there any special features that would help me when developing stuff on my own..? I understand automatic uploading of latest changes would be one. I tried out Ecplipse for php, and even configured the Joomla svn to have a look at it - but I just can't seem to find why it would help me. Are these large-scale editors with svn-support etc only good for large-scale projects that several people work on?

@ccondrup The nature of SVN is to keep version control of files in a repository, which is quite useful no matter project size. The benefits of version control systems is the ability to

* checkout/update (getting the latest version of the files in development so far)
* commit (submitting your modifications or additions to a project, with comments to what was changed)
* rollback (go back to a previous, working version, of a file)
* diff (compare two versions of a file for changes, ex. version 252 of index.php and version 2255 of the same file)

I guess you wouldn't need any of these features if you keep your projects small, but it definately is an advantage to keep files in version control in case you develop projects over time, always having the ability to view comments of commits, diff the files, or rollback if necessary

Thanks a lot, that clearified it. I will look into it before starting my next project.
