Sometime (like now) I forget to reply to messages. It has been years since I have read the book but at the time I found it beneficial to read it in order from the beginning. Chapter 1 defines fundamental Subversion concepts. Chapter 2 describes basic usage. Chapter 6 discusses setting up your server. Those all seem like they would be applicable.

Trunk is usually a folder that you create insider your repository. I assume you want to do this all locally. So, create your repository. md TempRepoRoot cd TempRepoRoot svnadmin create MyRepo Once you do that you want to do a check out. md Projects (probably in your user folder) cd Projects (probably in your user folder) Now do your checkout with the file protocol: svn co file:///c:/%HOMEPATH%/TempRepoRoot/MyRepo MyWorkingCopy Now you have checked out your repo you can create some folders: Cd MyWorkingCopy Svn mkdir trunk Svn mkdir branches Svn mkdir tags Then, check that in... Svn ci -m "Initialize repo" Now you probably want to checkout trunk, or perhaps switch to trunk. Up to you. Cd .. svn co file:///c:/%HOMEPATH%/TempRepoRoot/MyRepo/trunk ProjectTrunk Then, copy all your files into there. Do an svn add and Bob's your uncle.

No, you "svnadmin create" your repositories in a central place on your server. Then you configure your Subversion server (svnserve or mod_dav_svn) to serve those repositories. Then you import code into those repositories via the URLs exposed by your Subversion server. This and other basics of Subversion should be amply described in the SVN Book at http://svnbook.org/

What syntax are you using to import the source code into the repository? Rich
