Actually it is quite simple.

---------------------------------
Set up the svn server
---------------------------------
Install SVN binaries to GG:usr/bin

First edit your env(arc):sys/inetd.conf: (change path so it matches your config)

svn stream tcp nowait root gg:usr/bin/svnserve svnserve -i -r /sourcecodes/repository/

Edit env(ARC):sys/services to contain this:

svn 3690/tcp

------------------------------------------------
create your first project in repository.
We name it "newapplication"

Again adapt path to match your repository
location.
------------------------------------------------

cd sourcecodes:repository
svnadmin create newapplication

Now we need to edit the server config for the new project
"newapplication". Type

ed newapplication/conf/svnserve.config

In editor change the following lines, so they match the lines here.
Do not touch any other lines. No ## for these lines!!

anon-access = none
auth-access = write

password-db = passwd

realm = newapplication

Save file. Now we need to setup the passwords for this project. Type

ed newapplication/conf/passwd

and add your user names and password behind the [users] line.

yourname = password4711

Save file. Now the repository is ready for usage. Time to add existing sources to your new repository. Lets say you have a "Sourcecodes:" drive containing a drawer for each project. So "Sourcecodes:newapplication" is the one we want to add. You may want to perform a "make clean" before import to avoid useless files in repository.

cd sourcecodes:
svn import newapplication svn://192.168.x.y/newapplication -m "initial import"

After import you need to checkout the source again to be able to use it. Rename the original sources, just in case.

svn checkout svn://192.168.x.y/newapplication

After entering user name and password the source gets transferred. It is now a working SVN instance.

Once you changed one or more files inside your repository. commit them.

svn commit -m "fixed all my typos"

if you work on several systems, then you should update the stuff to get recent changes transferred to your current system.

svn update

if you need to add a file or drawer to repository use the add option

svn add newdrawer
svn add funnyfile.c

these are only marked for addition. Use

svn commit -m "added missing files and drawer"

Renaming files works like adding

svn rename oldname newname

and off course you need to commit the change to make it valid.

svn remove obsolete

will remove files. And again you need to commit.

Sometimes, when you want to delete a file that what changed before, svn blocks rename and delete operations, as you would loose these changes especially when using delete. So you can commit them first or use the --force option to force svn to perform the operation.

That is basically all. Compared to cvs svn is quite simple.
