I am not aware of any dedicated extension. I would use TortoisesSVN anyway,
since DW's isn't the only editor I use

Massimo,
Is there a extension for DWMX 2k4 to use subversion?
Thanks,

Until a few months ago I was using CVS, but I am migrating to Subversion
and
I am superhappy:

I use this as GUI:

CVS has all those shortcomings that, along the years, you get used to,
Subversion solves all of them. That's why I can't look back anymore. I am
talking about:
- Directories, renames, and file meta-data versioning
- Atomic commits
- Cheap branching
- Better handling of binary files
> How stable is it now?
Rock solid for me, but I don't do anything fancy, no huge repository, very
small amount of people connected. Anyway, looking at the mailing-list, there
are many succes stories
> How difficult was it converting the CVS repository over?
I haven't tried that yet. I am using it for brand new projects. There are
Pythin scripts for it
I would suggest to start with a "pilot project", something small, and see
how it goes

Graham,
As a "shortcut" before resorting to version control software which
requires a bit of setup/management I've used a tool called "Beyond Compare"
for a few years. In an environment of 2 developers you can get by using this
tool. Using your own development environment when you make changes and want
to implement those changes to a dev or production server, it will show you a
list of differences in the files. Just never allow complete file uploads to
overwrite existing pages. Always use Beyond Compare and it opens the 2
different versions of files with differences highlighted. Only copy the
changes you made to the desired server. It works through network and FTP. I
think it's only around $40

On one of my projects I am working with a fellow coldfusion developer and I
am wondering how other small groups deal with the item of 2 or so
developers working on the same overall project. How does these small groups
make sure that files with changes do not get overwritten and have work
losts. At the present time, we are just communicating and blocking out time
where we will not be in a specific file or directory so the changes made
will not be lost or overwritten?
Ideas?

If you are running on Windows or even Unix, using CVS would definitely
help you. During my previous job, which was a team of 3 developers, I
incorporated CVSNT (Windows version of CVS) to our development
environment. We were using winCVS as a GUI for various configuration
relegated tasks.

Massimo, how 'superhappy'? I'm thinking of moving over to Subversion. How
stable is it now? How difficult was it converting the CVS repository over?

I would at the very least use Dreamweavers CheckIn/Out feature if you
are using Dreamweaver MX 2k4. If not then use CVS or Visual Source Safe.
CVS is free but requires a little more work to get set up.
