Hi,
here, you can find a book about svn:
SVN is not a 'project management'-software as you explain it but a tool for version control, so it doesn't have any explicit deployment features like uploading stuff. The usual way to handle this would be to have your project 'checked out' at your deployment location which requires svn to be installed there. From that time on, you can handle all your updates via svn.
SVN is perfectly suitable for small and big projects (for example, the complete Apache Repository with over 500.000 Revisions uses SVN) alike. It handles binaries quite well and is the tool of choice of several technologies (Trac, Ruby on Rails, Capistrano, etc.). I use it even for the smallest of my works and never had any big problems with it.
Greetings Florian

Everyone/Anyone,
I'm new to Textmate (and just about everything else), and I just finished reading the Textmate book (some sections got a thorough once-twice-thrice-over). Very good book, now I'm hooked on Textmate.
I'm just an amateur web developer looking to increase my skill and knowledge. Textmate has been a great companion as It allows me to get out of Dreamweaver and into the code, but I find that I have lost some of the "project management" features of Dreamweaver. ie, being able to transparently upload completed development files from within the application. (Sure I can still get it done with Transmit, but it is clunky.) I searched the textmate discussions and wiki and came away with the conclusion that SVN is the answer. Problem is I know nothing about SVN... or where to start.
So, my question is... "What is SVN, can I really use it to manage a production website, and what is the best place, resource, book to get information on how to install, configure, and use it?" Sounds dumb right. Well we all have to start somewhere.
(I googled it and found more information than I can shake-a-stick at. So I thought that I would ask a smaller community that may better understand my situation and give a little more intelligent mac-oriented feedback.)
Thanks,
Ethan
