Subversion for graduation thesis / documents
Hi,
I will start to write my graduation thesis very soon, most probably I'll have to write it at home and at my own laptop. I was thinking about Subversion as a tool to keep both versions consistent, I do know that a version control can't highlight changes in pictures or binary documents and that kind of stuff, I'm more interested in administrating file versions.
Has anyone ever done so? I'd like to know if this is practical and secure regarding data loss (because of possible Subversion bugs, data will be backed up via USB stick anyway). Files to be administrated will be mostly pictures, OpenOffice documents and maybe some presentations.
Thanks
Maik

Even if Subversion was completely bugfree, it is not a replacement for
backups. If you damage/delete/loose your repository Subversion can't help you
and that's not a bug in it.

This is how you normally do it. I work at Bamberg University and keep *all* my
professional and private documents (lecture notes, slides, diploma thesis,
dissertation, scientific papers, source code, you name it) in subversion. It
is easy, fast, reliable, and secure (if setup via svn+ssh and private keys or
using a SSL-enabled web server).
