The source server can be used to host your subversion reporitories.

Creating a repository

Contact JP Renaud or Gethin Williams to get a subversion account. For the sake of explanation, lt's call your project myproject and the login mylogin.

The repository will be accessible at the URL http://source.ggy.bris.ac.uk/subversion/myproject

Importating data in your repository

svn import http://source.ggy.bris.ac.uk/subversion/myproject --user-name mylogin -m "Initial import."

Day to day work

Read the Subversion pages to understand how to use the repository for your daily work.

Using websvn

After importing data in your repository, you can browse it vi a web interface called WebSVN. On the source server, the WebSVN frontend is located at http://source.ggy.bris.ac.uk/websvn. You will be asked for your login information and the repositories to which you have access will be visible.

Changing login

The login information is cached and if for some reason you want to login as another user (myotherlogin), use the following URL: http://myotherlogin@source.ggy.bris.ac.uk/websvn
