Subversion... source control... change control

Today I was asked to become the backup... for the main subversion guy. My quest is to read the book... then work with the guy I'll call Joe... to formulate guidlines and how to's for developers... and to document our process of code promotion... ie... change control... source control... what ever you want to call it... I will log my progress and notes here...

begin notes ... idea of atomic commits... is important... revist that as you read the book...

... need to figure out how to check if I have a mixed revision... not just in revision number but in actual differences? ... end notes decided to install it...
