[support] Using Git for Site Building

[sebastian]

Hi Rolf,

For the database I do dumps, which are in my SVC so I can also roll back 
to an old one and then import. Granted I would still like to improve 
this part of my process, as it is the only thing which is not 
automatically being tracked. It's the last manual process, but 
fortunately because it is dumping into the repository as well, I don't 
have to rename the exported DB name and I can thus just re-use the same 
script to dump. I guess theoretically you could batch that with drush 
even, or before any drush update.

If anyone has a better way of getting an snapshot of the DB I'd love to 
hear it.

Best,

S.
