How I’ve put my wife into SVN


My wife uses AutoCAD. She is a student of architecture.


I’m a software-developer. I love my wife very much. I get crazy when she doesn’t backup her files.


Here’s what I did:

  1. Created a project in Google-Code
  2. Installed TortoiseSVN and checked-out a folder for that project
  3. Installed SVN-Monitor as a front-end to the Tortoise

Anyway, my wife just needs to right-click that icon, and:

Conclusion

This is what my wife got:

  1. As long as she keeps committing, her files are always backed-up.
  2. Her files are versioned. She now has a history of modifications.
  3. She can access her files from anywhere, through Google-Code.

This is what I got:

  1. A wife under-control.
  2. A committed wife.
  3. I can proudly say that my wife is using SVN.
  4. An extra QA-Engineer for my SVN-Monitor.
