How do FME users version their translation files?
+2
We have FME ESRI Desktop edition, no FME Server, and want to start versioning our files so we can go back and see how an older version of a translation is configured. Other than manually doing a save as in Workbench and renaming files, does anyone use a tool for versioning their translation files? We have SubVersion in house, but are in the process of seeing if this will work for FME files. We used Visual Source Safe in the past and Team Foundation Server, but both were clunky and we don't own them anymore. I'm open to suggestions! Thanks.

Hi
The workspace files are regular text files, so they are easily versioned using standard tools such as Subversion, git or Mercurial. I have good experiences with both Subversion and git.
Just remember that certain functionalities such as automatic merging of different versions will most probably break your workspace, so do not let your versioning software modify the files for you.
