This is the article I used to get me started:
http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001093.html
There is one major concept you want to be sure you understand,
if you are using a subversion server, you NEVER want to use the FILE://
Protocol.
Honestly I found the codinghorror article to be so good, you may want
to uninstall what you did, then start from scratch with the article.
20 minutes tops and you'll be up and running...
a few more tips.
depending on your config, it seems the path to the server and
repository are CASE SENSITIVE so watch for that and be sure you use
the same case everywhere - I had an issue where things were working
with one client, and not another due to this.
one scenario you might want to test is the roll back feature - it
works great, but they don't call it rollback, nor do they call it
Revert (revert is another similar option, but it won't get you to a
previous version in the repository) I don't remember the command off
hand, but a bit of trial and error (which I think is what you set out
to do with the text file) will do you good on this.
oh and one last thing. - if you're using visual studio for your
asp.net development there are a few gotchas to be aware of.
VisualSVN works great - costs $50.
There is a free Visual studio client called AnkhSVN. Don't even try
and use the version 2.0.5250 on the ankhsvn.open.collab.net page - its
no good, grab the latest daily build - this one threw me big time -
2.0.5250 would not even open a project! later version are much better!
oh one more thing. Ankh is a visual studio 'Source Save Provider' you
need Visual Studio PRO or greater to work with it, if you have
standard, pay the $50 for VisualSVN, or do all your checkouts in
windows with Tortoise.
Hope this helps!
