About moving files and folders in Subversion-controlled sites
When you move the local versions of files or folders in a Subversion-controlled site, you run the risk of creating
problems for other users who might be synching to the SVN repository. For example, if you move a file locally, and
don't commit that file to the repository for a few hours, another user might try to get the latest version of the file from
the file’s old location. For this reason, you should always commit files back to the SVN server immediately after you've
moved them locally.
Files and folders remain on the SVN server until you've manually deleted them. So even if you move a file to a different
local folder and commit it, the old version of the file remains in the previous location on the server. To avoid confusion,
delete the old copies of files and folders that you've moved.
When you move a file locally and commit it back to the SVN server, the file’s version history is lost.

Synchronizing files
Synchronize the files on your local and remote sites
After you’ve created files in your local and remote sites, you can synchronize the files between the two sites.
Note: If your remote site is an FTP server (rather than a networked server), then synchronizing your files uses FTP.
Before you synchronize your sites, you can verify which files you want to put, get, delete, or ignore. Dreamweaver also
confirms which files have been updated after you complete the synchronization.
Check which files are newer on the local or remote site, without synchronizing
❖ In the Files panel, do one of the following:
• Click the Options menu in the upper-right corner, and then select Edit > Select Newer Local or Edit > Select
Newer Remote.
• In the Files panel, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh), and then select Select > Newer Local or
Select > Newer Remote.
Display detailed synchronization information for a particular file
❖ In the Files panel, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the file you want information about, and then
select Display Synchronize information.
Note: You must have the Maintain Synchronization Information option selected in the Remote category of the Site
Definition dialog box for this feature to be available.
