Instructions on how to use Subversion
The subversion service for the Dept of Computer Science supports the needs for version control processes for (mainly) coding projects development.

- Subversion for the Dept of Computer Science lives on the CS Subversion Server (http://svn.cs.ucy.ac.cy/repos).
- It is operating on the Subversion server software from http://subversion.tigris.org version 1.4.2. You can get details and documentation from that location.
- To create a repository please ask for one on the Helpdesk.
- To access your repository, after it is created, use http://svn.cs.ucy.ac.cy/repos/repo-name (repo-name is the name of your repository).
- Basic tests were carried out with command line svn clients on Linux and TortoiseSVN on Windows without serious problems.
