Thanks Chris, I appreciate the link, I'm still on chapter 2. Strange it describes creating a repository AFTER it explains properties and commands like diff.
I read that link you posted but now I am confused about hooks. I see the hook directory get created when I create a repository locally. But there isn't any such directory in the repository created on a server (VisualSVN). I searched through the book using the keyword "hooks" and couldn't find any clue. 1) Can hooks be used on a non-local repository? 2) I read somewhere that a directory repository structure is not recommended for multi-user environments. Is this true? 3) If #2 is true then is it also true that "svnadmin create" is for single users ONLY? -----Original Message----- From: Chris Shelton [mailto:cshel...@shelton-family.net] Sent: Friday, September 07, 2012 3:59 PM To: John Maher Cc: users@subversion.apache.org Subject: Re: svnadmin John On Fri, Sep 7, 2012 at 3:47 PM, John Maher <jo...@rotair.com> wrote: > Is svnadmin create limited to creating a local repository?

It is impossible to create a repository remotely. Read the book on repository creation: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.reposadmin.create.html svnadmin is a server side utility to create a repository within the local filesystem. chris
