I wrote a introductive tutorial to versioning systems for my team, I might
as well make everyone benefit from it. Some additional details:
- It's in english
- It's a first version, thus not exactly perfect (usual disclaimer)
- The system used for the examples is Subversion (nowadays distributed
version control systems such as git, mercurial, darcs or monotone might be
more relevant)
- Beamer and LaTeX users are also interested, as it contains both slides and
handouts in the same document, a technique that can (should, even) be used
by teachers, for instance.
Here is the LaTeX source tarball,
the presentation and the handouts. Do not hesitate to contact me for remarks,
critics, etc.
