Re: Download from RC back to computer?

We used subversion, but when we tried using branches late in the project, we had a lot of trouble getting things to merge back and sync up. If you have a pointer to any documents that cover this with examples I would greatly appreciate hearing about it.

We used the command line and tortise SVN for a windows GUI. I've read the SVN manual and tortise documentation about branches, but I think I'm missing something since I don't think it should be so hard.

Just be warned: The 2004-2005 controllers used the PIC18F8520, while the 2006-2007 controllers use the PIC18F8722. Code compiled for one will not work on the other. It may be easier to swap the controllers.
