 ====== Subversion ======
-//*THIS TUTORIAL IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION*//
+This tutorial is not about using a version control system, or about using Subversion, but about how to get started with Subversion on SDF. Other source control tools available for looking into are [[hosted git repos - gitea on sdf | SDF-hosted git]] (newer, distributed version control), [[CVS]] (older technology than SVN) and [[RCS]] (the granddaddy)
-This tutorial is not about using a version control system, or about using Subversion, but about how to get started with Subversion on SDF
+There are graphical tools such as TortoiseSVN, but we will start with Subversion's command-line tool (this is SDF we're talking about, right?) which is ''svn'', and //is installed on the cluster//
+Subversion is normally intended to be hosted on a server, so working with it locally with an SDF user account is a little awkward, requiring the use of ''file:<nowiki>//</nowiki>'' URLs. At the end of this tutorial, we will touch on how to set subversion up for remote access.

-===== 5 Accessing It Remotely =====
+===== Accessing It Remotely =====
 One way to easily set up access to your svn repo for remote use is to set up [[trac_on_sdf|Trac]] on SDF
+Another is to run [[http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.serverconfig.svnserve.html#svn.serverconfig.svnserve.invoking | snvserve]], but this is complicated, as on SDF, subversion is installed on the cluster but not on the [[metaarray]], but users can only run processes on their [[meta_port_allocation| Allocated port]] on the metaarray. If a user wants to do this, they should post to [[bboard|bboard]] and request svn to be installed there.
