SubVersionSVN

Subversion is a version tracking system similar to CVS

VEMS SVN Layout

Be sure to checkout/update only the subdirectories you need. You can write a small svn_update.bat (or svn_update.sh) file to automatically update what you need (usually 3..4 subdirectories). Checkout/update of the whole vems repository will not work (I am not sure if SVN has an option to neglect any directories that one has no access to: it would be more convenient).

If you think you accidentally don't have access to one of the repositories or subdirectories, please write to Marcell so the error can be corrected.

How to report issues related to SVN

Report via email to marcell.

Reports in any other way (eg. irc) might be neglected (waste of time). Even if a full report is not good in irc, mentioning the fact of firing the report is good.
