In windows, if you want to be REALLY lazy, you can use the DOSKEY
command to even better effect (ok, get over the command name!) as follows:
DOSKEY sv=svn $1 svn://server/repo/$2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9
(Edit the URL above as necessary)
After you enter this, try:
SV LIST
to get a list of the repository. Now *that's* lazy! Of course, the SV
shortcut only works where the first argument after the sub-command is
the repo, but that covers a lot of commands...
...and you can create a command prompt window that automatically sets
this command (just edit the command prompt shortcut to add the /K switch
and the above). You can even have a different command prompt for each
repository.
