The insane stress of not using svn.
x4000:
It's funny, but in my tech demo project that I'm using, it's a pretty large thing -- 7 GB of assets, and 19.1 GB on disk once you factor in all of the shadow files and metadata files and so forth -- and I don't want to check that in to our normal svn repository host where I'd then have to pay for that storage forever. It's not super expensive, but I see no reason to do that.
But I've been getting extremely stressed out at the inability to do things like make changes willy-nilly and revert if something is messed up, and to generally keep track of diffs to code that I make, etc.
So I finally downloaded VisualSVN Server and have set that up on my local machine just to have that in place locally. I don't need to share this repo with anyone since it won't be kept long-term and I'll be the only one in this one, and so that's a really nice workaround.
If you're a coder and you work without source control, I don't understand how you do it. ;)

Have 7 working copies scattered across your desktop for various edits and branches :)
Tridus:
Oh god, I wouldn't have made it that long without getting some kind of source control. Not having that fallback option would drive me batty.

Git.
Local repo + repo on a server next to you...
With Git you can keep your local commits forever and only save on the main server when really needed.
x4000:
It's only been a few days, and I was going nuts.
In terms of Git, I absolutely loathe it. It's slow, it's overly complicated, we used it for a while and it was a joy to stop. ;) Been using svn for over a decade now, and while it's not the best thing ever it is the best of what I've seen.
