Example of creating a local svn of apache2

mkdir /data/subversion/apache2
svnadmin create /data/subversion/apache2/

svn import /etc/apache2/ file:///data/subversion/apache2/ -m "initial release"

Checkout for creating a working directory
(this will create a apache2 directory in the current directory and a .svn directory in apache2)

svn checkout file:///data/subversion/apache2/

Now doing some change in a file

edit apache2/apache2.conf
svn status ./apache2/
M      apache2/apache2.conf

See what is changed

svn diff ./apache2/
Index: apache2/apache2.conf

Update the svn
(do also a checkout again if you want to have latest before working again on this)

svn commit ./apache2/ -m "new release"
svn checkout file:///data/subversion/apache2/ --force

Check log

svn log ./apache2/
