Craig, I and my scattered helpers (Dragan et al) are using Subversion very happily with VFP. There is a big catch.

We converted ALL of our VCX libraries and SCX forms to text-based (PRG) code. We used the view class code option in the class browser as a starting point.

1) It was a HUGE job. I'm still dealing with some loose ends after a year.

2) I'm VERY HAPPY happy with the result. Besides the obvious benefits of using SVN, it is much easier for me to find pertinent code when I make modifications.

If you are interested I can tell you more.

Peter

P.S. We still have our FRX files which show meaningless changes after each build. I would be interested in knowing if there is a way to replace them with PRG code.


>I'm about to push a bunch of VFP source from VSS to Subversion and just trying to figure out tool support for doing the binary -> text conversion and I've only been able to find Paul McNett's scX tool:
