Newbie
I am new to subversion and i have a problem and question....
I have mounted a Windows share to my linux box to a folder called
/mnt/netlogon.
I have created a svn repository at svnsource/netlogon using the svnadmin
create command.
When I run svn import /mnt/netlogon file:///svnsource.netlogon it appears
that everything is copied there but i can't find it. Any ideas on why I
can't find the files?
Again, I am VERY new to subverision so any help will be GREATLY appreicated.

Thanks,
Jeff

No... the repository is a database. It stores your files safe and
sound in an internal representation (specifically, as one file per
revision [not one file per file] in the db/revs and db/revprops
directories). Your individual files are not stored as individual
files on your hard disk, though.
Here's one recent explanation of this format:
http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2006-01/0456.shtml
That's for the default FSFS repository storage type, by the way; the
older BDB repository backend stores things differently. But in the
end, it's not important how Subversion stores your files, just that
it does so.
P.S: Don't forget to "reply to all" so your message goes to the
mailing list too.

If the import completed successfully, then the files are in the
repository. Now you can make a working copy and start editing the files.
Have you read the Subversion book yet? It's a great introduction to
how Subversion works.

The subversionbook is still for 1.2. Anybody know when a book for 1.3 will be coming out?
