Can you say something more about that? A couple of weeks ago I saw a
demo at HPI in Potsdam where students used SVN down to the method level,
and it seemed to me that this approach might very well work because the
SVN granularity is the same as the in-image granularity. It may also be
interesting that this wasn't even trying to deal with source files of
any sort - it retained the nature of the image and simply hooked it up
directly with SVN. From my perspective this looked like an
extraordinarily interesting approach that I am certain to try out as
soon as it is available.
Cheers,
