I would really like to use this for our "Project". The basic idea would be to have a "stable" version ( a complete Magic folder) on a server and users could just use TortoiseSVN to "update" their version automatically.

We could also add a "nightly" for more recent patches etc.

Pro´s
-everybody should have the latest "stable" version at all times
-missing artwork is no longer a problem
-installation problems should not occur
-broken links, dead/old misleading topics should not cause problems
-developers could work "together" instead of one at a time.

Cons
-The server needs to be maintained
-The server should generate quite a lot of traffic (might get slow)
-servers are not "free" and cost money
-since everything is at "one place", once the server is down we have a huge problem

Unfortunately i do not own a server (or have any idea how to set one up to "support" this).

Let me know what you think about this and please share your experience with that "tool" in here.

TortoiseSVN is great, I'm currently learning PHP and we maintain our exercise files with it on assembla.com. Maybe we could upload it there.

Hmm, it seems a good idead, but I don't know if it's doable.
The only stuff we can share safely would be the cards coded in C, as the other stuff must be updated by one person at time to avoid major problems. And currently we're only two people on the developing team (me and Jatill), so it's not a great problem to share files between us.
Perhaps the great guys that are working on decompiling the .exe could use the SVN better.

we could use to for tournament decks and for the decks we created since many of the older decks are obsolete because cards get changed and many times I play against radnom decks that are missing half of the cards
