Subversion Howto

TortoiseSVN manual Nightly build of the manual (especially chapter 5 + are interesting for using TortoiseSVN)

Create a new repository:

In W:\websites\Admin\subs\ make a new directory with the project name (eg. test) Right click on test and choose 'create repository here' This creates a directory with conf/, db/, hooks/, locks/, format and README.txt You can then surf to http://wip.tripnet.int/svn/test/ to see the repo in the browser. (it will be empty) Then import the standard structure. Find the directory '0 Naam van opdracht' and right click on it. Choose TortoiseSVN -> Import... and put in the url of the repository (http://wip.tripnet.int/svn/test/). This creates revision 1. To work with the repository you need to check out the repository to your working copy.

Making a working copy:

make a directory wip on your local hd, eg. d:\wip\ Inside that directory make a directory with the same name as the project you will check out into it, eg: d:\wip\test right click on the directory and choose 'SVN Checkout...'

In the URL of repository put the location of the repository (http://wip.tripnet.int/svn/test/) and make sure it goes to the right destination URL.

Then in d:\wip\test\ you will find the files and directories of '0 Naam van opdracht'. This is where you do all your work!

Adding files to the repository:

In the working copy, create a new file. Right click on the file, TortoiseSVN -> Add. You can add files by copying them into the directory as well: either select all the files and right-click-drag them in and then choose 'SVN Add files to this WC', or normally drag them in, select them in the working copy and then right click, TortoiseSVN -> Add.
