SubVersionSVN (2005-10-09 08:54:23)

Subversion is a version tracking system similar to CVS

Major reasons to move from sourceforge CVS to SVN:

Links - since SVN is documented nicely, links are enough for now:


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.

Simple https client (web browser) is enough to view the latest revision (because of nature of SVN, not just head/trunk but of any tags and branches as well). Also useful to find out which subtree you need

However a real SVN client is needed to commit or view history.


Developers ask for SVN access - many haven't asked yet

Please


Password syntax problem

Examples changed slightly (no use to try dictionary attack)

Before we can figure out, use the passwd or htpasswd command, because we cannot use the hashed pw made by the md5sum program
