On windows download and install the superb tortoise svn client from http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/
Getting the initial files
- create a folder
- open it
- right click empty space and choose SVN Checkout
- in "url of repository" enter http://svn.neosys.com/svn/ to get all projects, branches and versions
You can use your browser to browse the subversion url too but that isnt the objective here.
Committing
- after making any changes right click on your new folder and choose Commit
- new files you want to add to the repo have to be ticked during Commit.
- You cannot commit files that other people have updated since you got them - use Update to resolve co-edits first
Getting other peoples commits
- right click on your folder and choose Update - you will get diffs to resolve any conflicts with changes you made
To manage the repository
- Right click anywhere and choose Subversion, Repo browser.
- You can cut and paste files, folder etc. (all smoke and mirrors they are not actually copied) Branches and versions are just copied folders
Documentation
- right click desktop, tortoisesvn, help
- http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ - includes a reorientation appendix for CVS users
- this is the very basics, there are many many many useful features
