Question

I’ve seen that i already have both svn and svnserve (and a .subversion dir in my home). svnserve should be svn server, as far as i know, but how can i run it? I need something very basic, not linked to apache or any server, just to version files on my own computer for personal development (svn is integrated with TextMate that i use).

Thanks.

If you need it only on your own machine, you don’t even need svnserve. Just use plain file: urls.

for example, create a repository with:

svnadmin create testrepo

Then you can access it with the url file:///full/path/to/testrepo/

The .subversion directory in you home folder is only intended for settings.
