How to do an in-place 'import' with Subversion

Posted Sun, 2010-07-04 17:01 by Brian Tafoya

Suppose, for example, that you wanted to put some of /etc under version control inside your repository:

# svn mkdir <a href="///root/svn-repository/etc" title="///root/svn-repository/etc">file:///root/svn-repository/etc</a> \
 -m "Make a directory in the repository to correspond to /etc"
# cd /etc
# svn checkout <a href="///root/svn-repository/etc" title="///root/svn-repository/etc">file:///root/svn-repository/etc</a> .
# svn add apache samba alsa X11 
# svn commit -m "Initial version of my config files"
