This is a quick subversion setup. really quick because to be honest it’s my first time. Normally I only get the repository url and an account, setup done for me.
Start by downloading the latest subversion build for your system at http://subversion.tigris.org/project_packages.html.
Unzip this archive somewhere and ad the bin to your path variable.
Create your local repository with the following command
svnadmin create /path/to/repos
Next you can import your first project with the following command
svn import /tmp/project file:///path/to/repos -m "initial import"
subversion expects the following 3 root folders:
/tmp/project/branches/
/tmp/project/tags/
/tmp/project/trunk/
Then you can check the project out again with
svn checkout file:///path/to/repos/trunk project
All is done, you can now start importing other projects, commit changes, checkout elsewhere, etc…
Deleting a complete repository is done by deleting the database
If you only want to delete a project or file use
svn delete -m "Deleting file 'yourfile'" file:///tmp/repos/test/yourfile
