Which two commands? Which operation?

I still haven't understood why you're having to do this at all. Why
are you reusing someone else's working copy? Everybody should have
their own working copy in which they do their work.

The svn command syntax was modeled on the cvs command syntax, with
the notable exception of the way branches and tags are handled. Is
there anything in particular you're having difficulty with? I haven't
used CVS but many here have and should be able to help you make the
transition. There's also a section "Subversion for CVS users" in the
book which you should probably read if you haven't already. It's at
http://svnbook.org/
