Re: Accessing a remote repository on a windows box from a linux box....

The windows machine needs to be running svnserve or Apache, in which case you'd use something like

svn://machinename/path/to/repo

or

http://machinename/path/to/repo

What ever it is, if people on other Windows machines can access it with TortoiseSVN, you should be able to use the same URL. That's the beauty of the URLS --- they're (mostly) machine indipendent.

If the windows users are using a file:// URL, then you'll need to use smbfs (built into linux mount) to remote mount the file system and then tweak the URL to corrospond to the unix syntax. This is not the best way and can even be very dangerous (if you use the bdb backend for the repository). Modern version of svn use the fsfs backend, so it should pose no problems.

That is, get rid the drive specifier in the path (if they have it on a local mounted share). If they're access the server by name, it will probably just work. But, I have not tried this. At work, I set up Apache and have no problems with users connected to it from linux boxes.

Subject: Accessing a remote repository on a windows box from a linux box....

Where I work, we have a Windows machine which has a subversion repository on it.
 Others are accessing the repository using TortoiseSVN on their windows boxes.
I need to use this repository from a windos machine. How can I do this? I
know the IP address and machine name. How do I specify that I want to use this
remote repository instead of the local one I had/have set up on my linux box?
