Hi,

I’ve been developing small applications with Rails for a number of  
months now, and day by day getting more into thinking about scaling my  
projects and getting some other people working with me.

I’ve just this week setup my mac to run all the latest and necessary  
development software (other than just webrick). While downloading extra  
ruby gems, and other rails applications (Beast forum), the concept of  
using svn has come to my attention.

I know the basic principle of version control, but can anyone direct me  
to a good resource that may be around designed to take Rails developers  
through the idea of setting up, and using SubVersion?

Or any resources people might use or know about. I’ll be continuing my  
research over the weekend, hopefully i might get something going.

cheers
