Hi John,
Thank you for your quick reply. The reason I'm confused by this is that the
FAQ seems to be implying that I can do this. It states:
>> If you need multiple computers to access the repository, you create an
FSFS repository on the network
>> share, not a Berkeley DB repository. Or better yet, set up a real server
process (such as Apache or
>> svnserve), store the repository on a local filesystem which the server
can access, and make the repository
>> available over a network. Chapter 6, Server Configuration covers this
process in detail.
This seems to me to imply that setting up a server is optional. I'm trying
to keep this as simple as possible, and in this circumstance, there were
only two of us accessing the files. I had the files entirely checked in
while the other user checked out the files and used them.
Does the paragraph above imply that multiple computers can access the
repository, but that they all have to be accessed by the same user?
John
