Normal Usage

I'll describe this in terms of using the SVN command-line client on a Unix-like machine, though there are other alternatives, which I'll mention later.

In SVN, we use URLs to name a repository (or a file or directory within it). You'll get these URLs from your local SVN administrator. In our case, they're all going to begin with

\begin{displaymath}
\mbox{\url{http://svn.barzilay.org/670/}}
\end{displaymath}

and your team's specific part of the repository will be in a subdirectory of that. I'll send you the precise URL for your team once all members of your team have registered for SVN accounts (see below). For now, we'll use the ``sandbox'' project.
