I'm only on Java-1b and already I'm having trouble with "Source Management", "Version Control", call it what you will it doesn't matter much at this stage.
The point is I want to save each attempt I submit (of say: Java-1b (Hundred)) for reference purposes and start each new attempt from whichever of the previous sources is most suitable. (This will most often be the previous source but may be an earlier one if I went off on a wrong tack).
I've taken to saving versions named: Hundred_Java_1b_1.java (first attempt at Java 1b), Hundred_Java_1b_2.java, Hundred_Java_1b_3.java and so on while the version I'm working on, to submit next, is called simply Hundred.java.
It's a solution of sorts but prone to mistakes (in particular inadvertent overwriting which can be very frustrating - guess how I know that!).
I was wondering what methods others use to preserve old versions of the CD programs? Any clever tricks out there?
