Late Night Subversion

Recording for future use:

1. Create a Subversion repository: ubuntu:~/src/csc-251$ svnadmin create ///home/user/.subversion-repository
2. Import the initial file hierarchy: ubuntu:~/src/csc-251$ svn import newlc file:///home/user/.subversion-repository/newlc -m "Initial import"
3. Create a branch: ubuntu:~/src/csc-251$ svn copy file:///home/user/.subversion-repository/newlc/trunk file:///home/user/.subversion-repository/newlc/branches/my-branch
4. Checkout the project: ubuntu:~/src/csc-251$ mkdir newlc && cd newlc && svn checkout file:///home/user/.subversion-repository/newlc/trunk && cd trunk
   

Most notably, these commands seem to differ:

• ubuntu:~$ svnadmin create ///home/user/.subversion-repository
• ubuntu:~$ svnadmin create .subversion-repository

Why? It's a horrible user experience, in my opinion.
