[ciapug] Subversion for Web Dev SCM

[Chris Van Cleve]

IS anyone out there successfully using Subversion for SCM on their  
web development projects? I'm having a bear of time getting my head  
around making it work. I have svn installed and working properly. No  
problems there, both server and client. Here's my conundrum:

I have my code in a repository and all of the developers can access  
it through svn just fine. Checkin, checkout, etc. What I can't make  
work is having the dev code running in a sub-domain. Do I need to  
export the trunk to a web-enabled directory? I need the SCM only for  
preventing code loss and overwrites between developers. I can't point  
Apache to the repository because, well, the files aren't really  
there... and running a live web instance on your trunk code just  
sounds like an idea firmly lodged in the 'bad' category to me.

Any help greatly appreciated.
