Re: Issue with SVN

Subversion runs on a server. The files are in a special format in the
repository.

You can find the server by knowing what command the developers use to
checkout their code. For example, if they type:

    "svn co http://machine/respos/project/trunk project"

The repository is on machine <machine>. The repository itself is
configured via Apache httpd server, so you have to examine the Apache
configuration to see exactly where the repository itself lies on
"machine".

If they type this:

   svn co svn://machine/project/trunk project

There's a svnserve task running on machine "machine", and this task
loads the repository files. Doing a ps-ef will get you the location of
the repository. You may also need to check /etc/init.d for a
Subversion server startup process.

As others have suggested, take a look at the Subversion on line book
and go through it. Fortunately, Subversion is fairly simple and pretty
easy to understand. It's one of the reasons why it is so popular as a
revision control system.

The book is located at http://svnbook.com. It shouldn't take more than
a few hours to get a pretty decent understanding of Subversion, how it
works, where you can find the repository, etc. The book is really easy
to follow and well laid out.

Once you go through the book, we'll be glad to answer any specific questions.
