Hi
So true, something I have come up with in development is a difficult
education process about CVS/SVN and that FTP is NOT a version control
system nor is it a reliable way of updating a site. It's a File
Transfer Protocol.
An additional benefit of a version control system is tagging, doing an
export on a certain tag, then rolling up the site as a package (zip
tar rpm whatever) for release and, as Eric says, rollback when things
go bad.
Cheers
James
