Hi,
Coming from Subversion I'm trying to understand if I should be learning Monticello, Changesets, or both, for version control.
Monticello is the "equivalent" of Subversion (but is nicer to work with IMHO) so you should definitely use Monticello for team/project source code management. It is very simple to learn and use.
ChangeSets is an older (but trusty) mechanism that more resembles patch-files in Unix land. We use them for bug fixes etc - and most of us (we who maintain public packages) accept changesets as small enhancements/fixes if sent by email. Some prefer Monticello snapshots though - and definitely if it is more than trivial small changes.
ChangeSets are not easy to use for project source code management. They can also easily trip you up - especially when doing class renames etc.
They are useful as a "changelog" ijn the image though - I routinely use them at the same time as I use Monticello - just to be able to see what I have touched.
