Actually, on FreeBSD, I think it's a lot easier to get things going just using the command line client -- and you can explore the local copy of the repository using tools on the local machine just fine. I don't think a bunch of extra tools like a Webserver are necessarily the best option for a single user. Your mileage may vary, of course. > > Subversion is a big and complex beast, but the documentation is > excellent. There's a whole book you can download here: It isn't terribly complex to set up using just the command line interface, though, if that's an acceptable interface for the user in question. Once the user gets used to it, it's quite simple to use, too. If all the bells and whistles you suggested are desired, though, it does get to be a bit more to manage. > > For access from Windows, try TortoiseSVN.
