This article will briefly explain the process of commiting a new project to Subversion.

 

First you must log into the server that hosts Subversion.

Next you must log into Subversion in a browser.  The following http address is subject to change without notice.  http://localhost:3343/csvn/login/auth

Once logged in, you can now click on the Repositories Tab followed by the 'New Repositories' link.

NewRepository

 

You will now be asked to provide a Repository Name.  This name must be all lowercase [a-z], and will only accept underscores as a special character.  You must also check 'Use Template' TRUE, so that it will create the proper folder structure.

This concludes the portion related to the Subversion Server.  You must now upload your Visual Studio code to this repository.  Open your project in Visual Studio so that you can 'Add Solution to Subversion'.  Depending on your version and/or configuration of Visual Studio the location of this menu item may be different.

In the next dialog you will have to blank out the Project Name since it was already created on the Subversion Server.

  • Type the repository URL: http://vcs.eazyworks.com:8080/svn/ez_your_repository/trunk/
  • Navigate to the 'trunk' folder
  • Commit files in the initial commit must be TRUE
  • Add trunk folder for Project should be FALSE.  We already added it when the repository was created.
  • Verify the Project will be created in the correct structure.
  • You can now press OK.
