Subversion

UMIACS provides a centrally managed Subversion service.

To have a Subversion repository created you need to just email staff and provide the name of your repository and how much initial space you think you will need.

We will give you a URL back with the server https://subversion.umiacs.umd.edu in it.

By default we will configure all repositories to be private and require authentication for both reading and writing to the Subversion repository. Authentication is done against our LDAP and if requested we can enable a UMIACS user to manage the AR with our ApplicationResourceUtil found at https://intranet.umiacs.umd.edu/arutil.

Getting Started with Subversion

You will first need to check out your repository,

  svn co https://subversion.umiacs.umd.edu/my_url

This will create a directory in your current working directory with the name of the last part of the URL you just checked out.

 cd my_url

You can now add files by the svn import command, svn add can be used to add file that you have created but is not under revision control yet.
