Practical Subversion - an Activist Primer

Abstract

Included: Version control basics; installing Subversion; access methods; access security; repository administration; repository backups; fancy commit tricks; Subversion as a CMS.

This tutorial will get you up and running as a Subversion activist. We will focus on practical setup and configuration issues that need to be dealt with to use Subversion as a practical tool for a distributed project. We will round up with Subversion setups tuned for various applications. Examples will be done with the FreeBSD operating system, but are not system specific.

This tutorial is about _setting up Subversion_, not about using it.

Not included: SSH, SSL and Apache configuration. Subversion from a users perspective.

Who should attend: admins who need to set up Subversion repositories for local or distributed projects.
