I've recently joined a new project owned by a developer who has never used source control. I've suggested moving the project onto Subversion, but am starting to get the first signs of pushback.
I think we're still at the "what's in it for me" stage here, and I'm pretty sure that I'd blunder any attempt at direct advocacy, so I'd rather simply forward a URL that lays out the case for using version control and let this developer reach his own conclusions.
I've been looking around, but all the intro SVN docs I've found seem to give a brief single paragraph intro to SCC before diving into either how to set up a repository, or "why CVS sucks and SVN is awesome." Can anybody recommend anything good?
(I'll send across the Joel Test in due time, but I think we might need to do some softening up first...)
He is also currently working a book on the same topic. A lot of his recent articles are about his experiments with various version control systems and are worth a look.
