SVN checkout with SVN protocol

Question

I've been using SVN a lot as a single user on a single computer

Now I'd like to share my stuff across multiple computers

So far I've been checking out from file://c:/myproject

I'd like to checkout from svn://mycomputer/myproject

How can I map the first into the second?

Answer 1

You need the svnserve deamon. The documentation to configure it is here (paragraph on "svnserve as Windows service"):

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.serverconfig.svnserve.html#svn.serverconfig.svnserve.invoking

You may also want to look at other possibilities to acccess you svn server in this chapter.

Answer 2

The repository is laid out identically. In order to use the svn protocol to access the repository, you need to set up svnserv, and point it to the repository you're using. This will allow both accesses - file:// locally, and svn:// remotely (or locally). A colleague swears by Visual SVN.
