help with svn setup on linux

Hi there,

I have shifted to linux a month back, so my knowledge of it is very limited.
As for subversion, I found the usein windows very easy with tortoisesvn.

I am web developer and currently i am using the following setup. I have
three folders..

www => web root
repos => svn repository
proj => project files for eclipse

I was forced into the above setup because of how eclipse treats projects. I
love the way it imports a svn repos as project. Since I am only storing
html, php, js and css files in the repos, I can't have the checked out
directory as the web root as the images and other files will be missing.

Now with current setup, every time I change a file, I have to commit it and
update the www folder to see the changes in the browser.

I am sure I am missing something and am sure there should be a simple
solution to this.

I will appreciate any help regarding this.

Best Regards,
Ashish

All artifacts should go in repository IMHO

I never had a problem with Refresh times. Workspace refresh should be  
a very infrequent operation. If you are using Eclipse I'd recommend  
Subclipse (of course) and just avoid Explorer if it is slowing you down.

A much bigger win is the productivity gain from being properly  
organised. Without those files in the repo, you can't version or tag  
them. What it so special about code that it should be versioned,  
while all the other critical elements of your site are not?

You are already seeing the high cost of maintaining assets and code  
separately.

Hi Toby,

Thanks for your reply. Honestly space is not an issue, but those
non-development files show up in eclipse, file explorer, also the workspace
refresh are slower.

Best Regards,
Ashish

Why aren't you storing images and 'other files' in the repo?
