/Build/Readme
==============
This project aims to make building, publishing and deploying Umbraco web applications easier.
It also enables team members who do not have Visual Studio to create and edit content without Visual Studio.
It encourages a seperation between the Visual Studio .csproj file and a user generated .targets which in my view makes MSBuild easier to grasp.

It automates the following:
- Including the Umbraco Application
- Including files created within Umbraco (e.g. a new stylesheet)
- Ensures required files are avalible for the build (e.g. installedPackages.config)

Version Control

Concept

Version Control does what it says on the tin. It allows you to travel back in time. As with most computer software it comes in different flavours (SVN, Hg, Git, etc) but the core concepts remain the same. A person creates or edits a file and these changes are 'commited' against time. Everytime a commit happens, a marker is created - a snapshot. This contains some meta data/information:
