Subversion setup FAQ
Here is how to set up Subversion for a user with a username of compton.
1. Log on to moons or shuttles
Type
svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs svnrepository
this will create $HOME/svnrepository.
The --fs-type fsfs means that the repository will use the fsfs backend rather than the Berkley DB backend which too often gets corrupted. Also, the Berkley DB backend simply cannot be used on a remote fileserver like NFS.
Refer to the SVN book
(http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn-book.html#svn.reposadmin.create) for more details.
Type pwd to show the full path to your home directory. For the example user compton this will show:
/amd/poptart/root/student/c/compton
2. On your home machine you can then do
mkdir mysvn
cd mysvn
svn checkout
svn+ssh://compton@moons.cs.unm.edu/amd/poptart/root/student/c/compton/svnrepository
That will check out your SVN repository via SSH.
3. To import your existing files from your local machine type
svn import <dir_to_import>
svn+ssh://compton@moons.cs.unm.edu/amd/poptart/root/student/c/compton/svnrepository
For more information about SVN usage, please refer to the free online book Version Control with Subversion .
