On windows download and install the superb tortoise svn client from http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/

Getting the initial files

  1. create a folder
  2. open it
  3. right click empty space and choose SVN Checkout
  4. 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

  1. right click on your folder and choose Update - you will get diffs to resolve any conflicts with changes you made

To manage the repository

  1. Right click anywhere and choose Subversion, Repo browser.
  2. 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
