Adding sourcecode of an old project into repo server

[macoy]

Hi!

I just downloaded and testing out repo server. Am able to manipulate
the example project repo using tortoise.
I need instructions or step by step procedure on how to add my old
project into repo server for source control.

I would really appreciate any amount of help provided.

Thanks,

macoy

Hi,

To create a new project, you can simply check out the repository root
and create your project next to the sample project, with a trunk
folder inside it. Do SVN Add followed by Commit. Then add your code
inside the new trunk folder.

If you don't want to check out the root folder (it is impractical when
your repository gets bigger), you can use svn import. See
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn-book.html#svn.tour.importing
and
http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-dug-import.html

Good luck with your new server. Subversion is really a great tool.
