Distributed version control software like mercurial[1] can work as both
source control for development and a deployment mechanism for staging and
production.

&gt;<br>
&gt; In the past, I used rsync in shell scripts to be assured that (a) only<br>

&gt; not clear on whether this is based only on Quanta&#39;s record of what I<br>
&gt; uploaded and when, or if it is based on comparing timestamps and<br>
&gt; file contents as rsync does.<br>
it just records what you uploaded.<br>
<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; e.g., if I have a developer doing some work for me on one branch of the<br>

Quanta uploader can&#39;t help you there. If it is possible for you to use rsync<br>
I would stick to rsync.<br>
<br>
Personally I use svn (online a workingcopy that you just need to update) and<br>
that&#39;s the best option - if it&#39;ts possible to use \
