Hi Jigal,

the only thing we managed to get in svn were the TS-Templates:
- Save the content of your constant-field and setup-field in different 
text-fiels
- only include [1] the following in your templates (e.g.):
	<INCLUDE_TYPOSCRIPT: source="FILE: 
fileadmin/templates/ts/generalConfiguration/constants.txt">

This has some advantages compared with writing directly in the template:
- You can use any editor you like with all its features (e.g. tabs)
- You can put the files under version-control
- Because you can "include" as many files as you like, you can separate 
different aspects of the configuration in different files (reuse)

Drawback:
- You still have to manually include this in the DB
