== Quick notes on use of the repository ==

2008-03-07: [wiki:Meetings/20080307 we decided] to go back to RCS.[[BR]]
It may be possible to maintain a copy of what's going on, in svn.[[BR]]
But for real work on the code, see [wiki:Notes/RCSUsage].

=== Basic Usage ===
 * use the {{{svn}}} tool
{{{
   unix% svn -N co https://svn.atnf.csiro.au/miriad/branches/cabb-upgrade -u WikiName
}}}
   * Notice we use the '''https''' URL scheme.
   * You can use the '''http''' URL scheme, but not if you want to make checkins.
   * You need to use your !WikiName and password to log in, not your UNIX username and password
   * {{{-N}}} only gets the top level directory.

 * use the [http://www.eclipse.org eclipse] tool

  FIXME

=== Migration from RCS ===
 * [wiki:Notes/SubversionAndRCS Subversion and RCS]

=== Protocol for access ===
Our access protocol is::
 * We allow anonymous checkout over '''http''', for people who just want a copy of the code.[[BR]]
 * If you want to check stuff in, you must checkout and checkin over '''https'''. You will need a WikiName and password for this.
 * We plan to summarise commit logs by email, once a week or so, so people can get an idea of what is going on.
