anyone know if there's a good SVN or P4 plugin for #blender ? (or any other revision control system where you can lock files centrally)

EDIT: idk if either of these are good, but I found plugins for both immediately after posting this.

SVN: https://studio.blender.org/tools/addons/blender_svn

P4: https://help.perforce.com/helix-core/helix-dam/current/Content/HelixDAM-User/integrating-with-Blender-installing.html

I'm interested in Opinions and Experience though if you've used either.

"SVN Checkout is not supported due to limitations with giving progress feedback in the UI for such a long process. Do your checkouts via the command line" well that's too bad

ah ok the blender SVN plugin UI looks like a nice way to journal changes and keep my machines in sync, and it shows if something is out of date on a given machine, so that much is nice

I like that it has a little video demo to show what it does.

ok that's a new one. the documentation section of the SVN project page tells you to go buy a manual (or consult an out dated excessively verbose online book)
https://subversion.apache.org/docs/

i thought ok maybe they're just selling books to fund the project~~NO the "purchase" link just points to i shit you not a google search for "site:amazon.com Subversion version control"

@aeva While this "purchase" link is pretty terrible, I have been finding myself drawn more towards physical documentation for things I regularly use lately.

This is probably more of an indictment on the modern internet than anything specifically having to do with online documentation though.
