Hi Mike

I can't seem to commit any changes, because I think Tortoise SVN is using a
guest account to retrieve the data and I can't work out how to get it to use
my account details instead (which I assume are the same as the email
subscription details). I have the following in my Tortoise SVN servers file:

Anyone can create their own branches in subversion by following these steps:

1. Sign up on the web site. These will be your svn username and password too.

2. Go to http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/svn/repo/mkgmap (or the appropriate page for splitter etc).

3. Click the 'Create' button for 'Enable my own branch'. This does
two things.  First it creates a new branch, but it also enables your
username for use.

4. The page should now show details of how to access the branch that
was just created. In particular note that the URL differs from the
read-only URLs by using https rather than http and there is an
extra '/svn/' before mkgmap.  It should look something like:

 https://svn.mkgmap.org.uk/svn/mkgmap/u/mike.b/main

5. Check out that URL and you should be good to go.  I don't know
exactly how TortoiseSVN works, I expect you would be prompted for
username details on first commit.  Checkout still doesn't require
a password if I remember correctly.

There is nothing special about that main branch, once you
are set up you can create other branches under your user area.

Of course since nobody has used this feature for a while
and so it may not work.  Let me know if there are any
problems.

..Steve
