Thanks Bob. I looked at the free book, but it looks word-for-word the same, Getting New Data into Your Repository is exactly the same. Can you point me to the right place?
I thought perhaps the information under Initial Check Out would set up an initial file structure. I tried: Macintosh:GraphicArt TommyHome$ svn checkout https://ksfgraphics.goolecode.com/svn/trunk/ kwfgraphics --username whidbeytomas ---and got this: svn: OPTIONS of 'https://ksfgraphics.goolecode.com/svn/trunk': Could not resolve hostname `ksfgraphics.goolecode.com': Host not found ( https://ksfgraphics.goolecode.com) I tried this again appending "--password *mypassword" *to the end, that got me 'path not found' I tried: Macintosh:GraphicArt TommyHome$ *svnadmin create /var/svn/newrepos* * * ---and got: svnadmin: Repository creation failed svnadmin: Could not create top-level directory svnadmin: Can't create directory '/var/svn/newrepos': No such file or directory Surely someone has been here before?! You can't all start with a repository? Can someone tell me which section of the free manual addresses my situation? or give me explicit instructions? If I can get this down, I will be training a host of interns to use this system. They are waiting for me.
