Hello All
I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but it seemed the best option out of the other choices on this forum. I have decided that I would start to use Subversion to control my PHP projects (instead of my home-grown version control), and I would like some assistance please. I have never used Subversion before but my co-workers cannot say enough good things about it. I have been doing some reading about how to set-up and use Subversion but I have been confused by some things. Whenever I read a "how to" talk about setting up a repository they always start out in "/home/username". The only problem is that PHP will not run from that location; as we all know, it must run from "/var/www/html". So I guess my question is can I set up a repository in "/var/www/html" instead of my home directory? Also, what about the fact that I already have many PHP projects in the web root? Will SVN overwrite or duplicate any of the code that is already there when I create the new repository?
As I am a complete newbie at this, any and all assistance will be appreciated. Thanks, and have a great day.
