[thelist] Source Control

[Will]

I'm an SVN admin noob so maybe some one can chime in here but isn't this
scenario what branching is for? The remote server would be on trunk while
the developers and the dev server would be on a dev branch. Then when a
particular rev of the dev branch passes qa, it can be merged with trunk (or
whatever branch is driving the Remote Server).
