In development, we use a 2 stage solution. We first develop locally. Save our files to Subversion, and then push the changes from there to our staging server.
I saw your other post; and since we don't know what caused that error, we can't lend credence to a multiple platform storage of files. Also, not being a .NET expert, I couldn't say for sure, BUT, I use git for my repo (base storage on a Mac, pushed out to Windows servers) and since all the files are UTF-8 text files, (binary files should be moot) I haven't seen any problems that have led to unexplained behaviors. Whether git or svn shouldn't matter (both are excellent repos)
Best Practices for Using Subversion SVN
In development, we use a 2 stage solution. We first develop locally. Save our files to Subversion, and then push the changes from there to our staging server.
I recently had a site blow up and I'm not 100% sure why. (http://our.umbraco.org/forum/core/general/5880-Site-just-died). I was wondering the error could have anything to do with pushing files from the two different systems.
So for anyone out there that uses a system similar to this (without Contour), what are your best practices?
Thanks,
Chad
