From: Richard Schoen
You could always run SVN on your workstation which is probably Windows
or Linux :-)

No, my laptop wouldn't do. It's not always connected to a network. Isn't the whole idea of SVN to support team development? I'd be more in favor of running SVN under PASE, if it can be done.

I'm also not sure about the term "master copy". Is that an SVN term? As far as SVN clients are concerned, it seems to me that storing a copy of source in an IBM i library would not be that much different than storing a copy in a personal PC directory. Sure the file systems are different. And an IBM i development library supports multiple concurrent users. But the role is not that much different. Most PC IDEs are complete development, deployment, and runtime environments, too; except for just one person.

The thing that appeals to me about SVN is the version(ing) support. It has a strait forward method for tracking and storing current as well as ancestor versions. It's better than appending a version number to an IBM i library name, and copying everything to it.

If SVN were able to run under PASE, the thing that would be lacking here, would be a native IBM i client, for browsing, and synchronizing SVN repositories, with IBM i libraries.
