Subversion repository is on bfs.

To create a new project:

• cd to the svn repo, public or private.
• su to www-data before creation so that the files will have the proper permissions.
• svnadmin create /path/to/subversion/repo/private/project_name --fs-type=fsfs

To import existing Rails project:

• http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowtoUseRailsWithSubversion if you like. Ignore the rest of this.

• Create your subversion project as above:
  • # in your_rails_app (created by rails your_rails_app)
  • svn import . repository_url -m "Import" --username user
  • cd ..
  • mv your_rails_app your_rails_app-backup
  • svn checkout svn_url_to_your_repository your_rails_app
  • cd your_rails_app
• (Instructions from above site):
  • # Remove the log files.
    • svn remove log/*
    • svn commit -m "removing all log files from subversion"
    # Ignore the log files when they are re-created (Note for Capistrano/Switchtower users: the log directory is “shared” so it needs to be ignored itself, not just it’s contents)
    • svn propset svn:ignore "*.log" log/
    • svn update log/
    • svn commit -m "Ignoring all files in /log/ ending in .log"
    # Ignore the tmp directory with all its content (cache, sessions, sockets)
    • svn remove tmp/*
    • svn propset svn:ignore "*" tmp/
    • svn update tmp/
    • svn commit -m "Ignoring all files in /tmp/"
