Learn Subversion

I set up several repostories, configured three servers to handle them, installed clients on every major OS and convinced others to use it (and love it).

Time to check it off. Someday, “Master SVN” will be a goal, but for now, it’s time to say “great tool, use it!”...

After some quite easy beginning on my local machine with me as only user, I wanted to set up Subversion on the server at work.

Everything worked fine, until I tried to import the directory structure as first commit. I could access the repository but not write to it.

Solution:chmod -R 777 /path/to/repository

1. On windows, TortoiseSVN is a superb svn client.
2. commandline access ist easy, too.
3. svnbook.red-bean.com is the best source of information.

I think it’ll take a month to learn about every detail, but it works like a charm since day one!
