[ciapug] Subversion for Web Dev SCM

[Tim Champion]

My current employer uses svn successfully, although I'm far from an expert
on svn :)
What we do here, is have each developer checkout their development branch
onto their local machine (which is a LAMP box). I think you answered your
own question, and you would have to checkout the trunk or a devel branch (or
whatever you want to test) to a test web server, or to the subdomain's
DocumentRoot of your SVN server if that's where you want it to run.
