Hi List, First, thanks to David for an excellent explanation. However, I am confused a little by the sequence of commands suggested...

You can find this in Pathfinder. Now, you will want > to create a working directory: > > $ cd $HOME > $ svn checkout file://$PWD/svn_repos/newrepo svn_project > > This will allow you to checkout an EMPTY repository in Subversion in a > directory under your $HOME directory called "svn_project". When you > open a new Pathfinder window, you should see this directory. If we want to create a new home for repositories to start with, then is that right? > $ cd $HOME OK, go to known location > $ svn mkdir svn_repos Why "svn mkdir" and not just "mkdir" ~ this is to create a new repo not to add a directory to a repo? > $ cd mkdir svn_repos Should this not fail because 'mkdir' does not exist? > $ svnadmin create newrepo ...should create the new repository which can then be accessed as file://$PWD/svn_repos/newrepo ok. Sorry if I am just confused about the way macs work or something... ~ mark c
