Catherine suggested that we put all the bits and pieces we learn about SVN in one place. A jolly good idea as I do tend to forget about things!


As a CVS user, migrating to SVN was not without it's hiccoughs. Let's begin with some technical details:

Setting up your SVN details

(1) If you've got an account on the SVN server at WWMM, you should have a certificate file need by SVN to authenticate a session. Let's call this file svn_cert.p12. Place it in a convenient place, say, $HOME/certificates/

(2) Now edit the file $HOME/.subversion/servers It should contain the lines:

[groups]

wwmm = wwmm.ch.cam.ac.uk

[wwmm]

ssl-client-cert-file = $HOME/certificates/svn_cert.p12

ssl-client-cert-password = <the password Catherine gave you>
