Re: [Openscrobbler-devel] Development Environment / Tools

On second thought, you don't need to worry about being a persnickety 
flibbertigibbet (phew!). SVN is smart enough to not allow you to be so 
foolish.

My recommendation is this, if you want to work on it locally:
- Get SVN installed on your local computer.
- Checkout (or update) the project. Work on it. Etc.
- Upload it to the server (or synchronize it) to a web-accessible 
location. You could choose to ignore the .svn folder when 
synchronizing.
- Test your changes, fix your bugs, test your bug fixes, rinse repeat.
- When you're done, update, then check it in from your local computer. 
You can update anytime on your local machine.

Basically you just use the server as a test environment, but do all 
your work locally.
