About Subversion

SVN (Subversion) is a tool used by many software developers to manage changes within their source code tree. SVN provides the means to store not only the current version of a piece of source code, but a record of all changes (and who made those changes) that have occurred to that source code. Use of SVN is particularly common on projects with multiple developers, since SVN ensures changes made by one developer are not accidentally removed when another developer posts their changes to the source tree.

In order to access a Subversion repository, you must install a special piece of software called a Subversion client. Subversion clients are available for most any operating system. Information about the official subversion client can be found at http://subversion.tigris.org/. Excellent documentation on using Subversion can be found at http://svnbook.red-bean.com/

Subversion Access

This project's Subversion repository can be checked out through SVN with the following instruction set:

svn co svn+ssh://kahuna.shore.mbari.org/svn/repos/eits eits

Warning This is a generic Subversion checkout command which will pull all modules, tags and/or branches of the project. In most cases, you will want to add '/trunk' to the SVN URL above to check out only trunk (main development line).

Note The EITS project references external subversion projects, such as vars and aved-db. Even if you have commit privelages on the EITS repository you may not be able to check in code changes to all modules.
