Workflows and possible solutions for dreamweaver users

[marduk at letterboxes.org]

I am a little confused why you cannot have a local copy of the web
site/repo on each developer's computer.  Could you explain further why
this is not possible/desirable?

Ideally the work flow would be something like this:

* There is a central repository seperate from developers or the web
server(s).
* Each developer checks out the repository to their own development
workstations.  They develop from those repos.
* Each developer pushes to the central repository.
* (Optional) the central repo is pulled to a staging/ci/testing server.
* When all goes well, version/tag a snapshot and push it to the web
server(s).

I'm not a Windows guy, but I *think* the central repo can be as simple
as a Windows share.  With mercurial, it need not be fancy in any way.
