P.S. on SVN, anyone got a simple walkthrough link/tutorial for setting up and using (in a workflow with TM preferably) a local SVN system - for file bundles (such as websites) rather than application code, with revisions, branches and suchlike)
My advice: Don't use subversion if you're a single developer. Unless it's really easy to use. (I use Dreamhost[1] and they have unlimited instant subversion repo creation, so I use that)
Setting up a local subversion repo is not worth the effort, just use Mercurial instead. Git it lovely, but totally overkill for a website.
I'm probly going to be switching to Mercurial for everything soon. I'm just too used to subversion to really need to upgrade yet. And since I can make an http hosted repo in a few seconds, it's really easy still.
so, my advice:
Subversion, no Mercurial, yes
