--> I'm just starting to teach myself version control with SVN for work and it dawned on me - does anyone use this for music? I'm not far into reading about its capability, but already as I read it seems way more powerful than I thought.

Using SVN to sync logic sessions for example that are stored on a remote server and synced locally seems like a pretty killer way to collaborate. I can imagine that merging data would get messy quick, right?

I know some of you probably use SVN or an alternative every day - is this a flawed idea, or could it potentially work? Would make long-distance collaboration so much easier!

I was thinking about this more last night.

Here are some thoughts (no one will read them though).

1. What would a diff function for audio be like? Could be a interesting excursion for an audio programmer
2. A overnight build/render system for all of my music projects would be rad: i.e. a scheduled set of scripts that would load up ableton and render audio of recently modified projects, for reviewing in the morning.

3. also the scripts should render/convert audio to mp3 to save space
