[thelist] Getting version control into the office for the first time

[Danny King]

Try out BZR, it's really simple to use but can handle anything from my
small web development work right up to maintaining the Ubuntu Linux
distro

> What are your experiences of getting version control into a development
> environment (we are a LAMP house) for the first time?
>
> What things do you wish you'd know about before you started (technical or
> otherwise)?
>
> What would we need to look out for with regard to common mistakes and doing
> things the wrong way (ie, bad habits)?
>
>
> I'd appreciate any comments, suggestions or warnings you can share -
> unfortunately there's only so much I can learn from developing with a local
> repository and myself.
