Install subversion on windows
In order to better develop for #Joomla by having your own subversion local repositories.
My second objective is to version different version of #Joomla!/my components so I can
run a continuous build strategy with XINC…but more on that later when I will have enough regression tests 🙂
Download the Subversion distribution for you operating system at: http://subversion.tigris.org/getting.html

The first thing you’ll need is a new repository. A repository is where all of your individual projects will be stored.
Create a new directory using the file explorer or with
# mkdir e:\xsubrversion
Initialize it by issuing this command:
# svnadmin create e:\xsubrversion
Inside your new repository (e:\xsubrversion ) there is a directory called /conf. There you’ll find a file
svnserve.conf. Open this file in a text editor.
Just uncomment the following lines by removing the #:
[general]
anon-access = read
auth-access = write
password-db = passwd
In the same directory, you’ll find another text file called passwd, if it do not exist, just create it and put all
users authorize to access subversion in a [users] section. It is a pure key value pair file in the format
NAME = PASSWORD
[users]
cedric.walter = xxxxxxx
monkey.coder = yyyyyy
Restart the service “Subversion Server“
In #Eclipse PDT/PHP #Eclipse, you can now connect to Subversion with Subversive client (Subclipse is not part of
Eclipse consortium)
URL: svn://localhost
User: cedric.walter
Password: xxxxxxxxxxxx
and be able to commit and browse you code
