== Guidelines for where to keep things ==


  || project source code / scripts    ||  dybsvn:/       || 
  || personal source code / scripts   ||  dybsvn:/people ||
  || binary image and video files     ||     ?           ||
  

=== Derived files ===

Note that '''derived''' files do not belong in repositories, instead keep the source code
that you used to create the derived files in the repository.    

=== Binary files in SVN repositories ===

Subversion repositories are most useful for : '''source code''' , although binary files
can be stored in them, most of the benefits that subversion provides are irrelevant for binary files.
It is simply the wrong tool for managing binary files.


== THINK before you commit ==

Once a file is committed to a subversion repository, it cannot be removed (without lengthy and painful efforts
involving dumping the entire history of the repository into a file , and then replaying the entire 
history of the repository commit-by-commit to create a new one).
