Reference

• For CVS users
• Subversion book
• Guide for setting up repo - Admins: Trick is to re-run chown (e.g. sudo chown -R www-data:scm jbcode, chgrp (e.g. sudo chgrp -R scm jbcode), chmod (e.g. sudo chmod -R g+rws jbcode) after any subversion commands like sudo svnadmin create /srv/svn/code.

Tips

How do you diff ignoring .svn cruft?

Like this d32:~/google/trunk/gears/third_party% diff -ur -x.svn sqlite_vendor sqlite_google

How do I quickly see the last diff?

svn di -r PREV which is the same as git’s git diff ^

Subversion is terrible slow and tracking the Trac timeline is also slow.
