I have an SVN controlled PCB library that I use at work and at home. Files are checked out on my office workstation.

To be able to work at home, I need the same files also checked out on an external HDD which I connect to the office workstation for synchronization and use on my private PC (without SVN installed – no connection to company SVN-server wanted).

I tried just making a double checkout which gave me dozens of conflicts where (imo) there shouldn’t be any.

I’m not sure what synchronization means.

I can’t just work on the external HDD all the time because the office workstation may also be used by someone else than me – when I and my external HDD are not around.

How do I checkout two local copies of same repository?

    You can checkout two local copies of same repository: 

    svn checkout file:///var/svn/repos/test mine1

    then 

    svn checkout file:///var/svn/repos/test mine2
