I just installed Subversion for OS/400 from
http://www.softlanding.com/subversion/index.htm. Thanks Mark Phippard
for providing this.  I've run through the setup several times trying
to get the repositories setup the way I want them. I want a repository
for each project. I also want the recommended trunk, tags, and
branches subdirectories setup. Below is what I tried. When I browse
the repository with Firefox I don't see the TTB directories. All I see
is "Revision 0: /". I was trying to match what is shown on page 20 of
the PDF doc provided with the save file.  How should I be setting up
the TTB directories?

We have our own mailing list at os400@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  Might be 
better to post there.

Think of the Subversion repository as a database.  You cannot just add 
folders or files in the same IFS location that the repository happens to 

be stored.  You have to use a Subversion client to manipulate the 
repository.

If you want to do it all from a CL program, the easiest way to use the 
client, is via QSH command.  For example:

By the way, the source for the OS/400 commands we provide, like CRTSVNREP, 
is included in the SUBVERSION library.  Those commands have to use the 
same techniques I just described, except they are using the SVNADMIN 
program.  I eventually plan to add commands that perform SVN client 
functions, like mkdir, checkout etc...  If you want to contribute code for 
commands like that, just send me the source, or send it to the os400 
mailing list I mentioned previously.

You could make a "CRTSVNDIR" command and then just use that command in 
your CL program.
