SVN Repositories

We'll be using SVN to collaborate and grade the projects. Your repositories are accessible via a publicly resolvable DNS. The format for the addresses is:

https://shell.cec.wustl.edu:8443/cse462m_sp12/svn/group<GROUPNUMBER>

Where <GROUPNUMBER> is equal to one, two, three or four. If your computer login name does not mach the user name for your WUSTL key you will need to add --username <USERNAME> after specifying checkout, otherwise the login will fail. If you need help with SVN, please check out the SVN Manual then come ask questions. If you really need a GUI SVN client to manage the repositories I can't really recommend any over the command line but the two I've used at various points in the past are: Versions (Mac) and TortoiseSVN (Windows).
