Subversion or SVN is a version control system that is used when there are multiple developers that may be working on a project at the same time. This software ensures that everyone is working on the latest version of the project. Also, SVN is very useful when multiple developers are working on the same project because it can ensure that different developer's changes don't overwrite each other. SVN is non-locking which means that two developers can work on the same files at the same time. The files are checked for conflicts when they are committed. If any conflicts occur, the developer who is trying to commit is notified that they must update their files and resolve any conflicts before committing.
I was able to host my Robocode project on Google Project Hosting and create a discussion group for it. I found that setting up the automatic commit and issue messages to be difficult. At first, I could not get automatic commit and issue messages to be sent when changes were made to the project files. I added the group email address for the discussion site, robocode-kkc-diamondbot-discuss@googlegroups.com, to receive activity notifications. I finally got it to work after setting robocode-kkc-diamondbot@googlecode.com to be the sender.
I learned that using Google Project Hosting and SVN is a good way that multiple developers can collaborate on a project. It is vital to have version control when working with multiple developers to ensure that progress keeps moving forward. Attempting to accomplish this manually would be an extremely tedious and time comsuming task. Thankfully, there is version control software like SVN that can automate the process.
