To SVN or not to SVN?

The good thing is that even if the subversion server crashes and loses all the data, everyone that has checked out the repository has a local copy. In other words, you're no worse then if you didn't have revision control.

Good point. Also I would imagine Google keeps good backups what is more likely is someone makes a corrupt checkin, in which case it is extremely easy to roll back to the last known good code.

I am a Software Developer for Purdue University and we use Microsoft's Team Foundation Server every day although it is not Subversion, CVS, Git, or others the idea is still central to professional programming.

LOL, I guess I'm just paranoid about having my code stored somewhere else
