Setting up a Subversion Workflow with a Module


 * What it does, etc overview**

(This is me recording things as i learn them)
 * Steps to get it working**

To get started i decided to use a hosted solution. I could have set up a server, but this lets me evalutate it and get started. I found this blog that lists various hosted services, many of which offer free and low cost hosting. Because the files are rather large for running a PW i think most are going to either have to host it themselves or use the higher levels of server that involve some fees.

I chose to use http://www.assembla.com/ as the provider, after reviewing ones i found on this blog http://blog.taragana.com/index.php/archive/hosted-subversion-services-comprehensive-list-reviews/. It's free for up to 500 megs, and it has some other features such as bug tracking and a wiki. I'm not endorsing it, as i can't really compare them as of yet, it's more of a random choice.

I set up the archive using their interface, very easy to do, so i'll not cover that, and i expect it to vary based on what you use.

To install the SVN client for windows go to http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads and download the installer. This requires a restart but seems to go pretty easy.

Now to get the repository started. I decided to make my modules directory the repository (the one in the player folder). First thing i did was rename the folder and create a new folder with the same name. It is very important to start with an empty folder.

I go in the folder, and i then select Checkout...
