Do you commit a change to subversion every time you update an org file, or are commits scheduled through a cronjob? 2. When you open new files, do you always check them out of the repository / work / check them back in? Or do you work on a local directory structure and sync outside of emacs? 3. Can you post some of the relevant config lines you have, and the key sequences you use for commits? (This may be asking too much. :)) Thanks in advance, I've seen several ways to do this and I'm trying to weigh the merits of each approach. -- Kyle Sexton
