workgroup

Hi everybody,

I have spent some months working on a web application and we're come close to production stage. It's soon time to expand the development group with 1-3 people on this project.

I have not too much experience on working with SVN, but It's obviously the choice for a big part of the larger companies out there, so I am guessing that the pros of SVN without a doubt outweights the time spent on commit/check ins / check outs etc.

The workflow seems to become a bit more complicated with SVN, and even though I have read Version Control with Subversion by O'Reilly Media and I am not sure yet if it's overkill to use SVN for any reasons besides backup when developing alone or in a small (1-3 people) workgroup?

How do you do it? What's your workflow with version control while working alone or in small workgroups?

Thanks!
