Adding version control to an existing project

I am working on a project that has grown to a decent size, and I am the only developer. We currently don't use any version control, but I definitely need to start.

I want to use Subversion. What would be the best way to transfer an existing project to it?

I have a test server that I use for developing new features, then transfer those files to the 2 production servers. Is there a tool that will automate the upload to the test, then the deployment to the live servers?

All this is developed in ASP.NET using Visual Studio (if that matters)

Solution

  • To expand a little on the previous answer...

    1) Create a new SVN repository
    2) Commit all the code you've worked on so far to it
    3) Check all that code OUT again, to create a working copy on your dev machine
    4) Work!

    It's definitely not a hurdle, really.
