Instructions for using the Subversion Repository
------------------------------------------------

FIRST TIME:
------------------------------------------
1. Click on Terminal in launcher.
2. Type "mkdir mom" (without the quotes) and press return. This creates your working directory.
3. Type "cd mom" (without the quotes), then press return.
4. Type "svn checkout https://hcmc.uvic.ca/svn/mom/branches/dev/v3 ." and press return (don't forget the period).

It should ask you for a user name and password (sometimes password first, assuming a user name from your local logon; when that fails, it will ask for a user name, then a password). Use your netlink id and pw.

This will checkout a working copy from the repository to your hard drive. These are the files you'll work on every day.

BEFORE YOU START WORK EVERY DAY:
----------------------------------------
1. Click on Terminal in launcher.
2. Type "cd mom" (without the quotes), then press return.
3. Type "svn update" and press return.

This ensures that you have a completely updated local copy of all the files on your computer. Now you can work on your editing task.

AFTER YOU FINISH WORK EVERY DAY:
----------------------------------------
1. Click on Terminal in launcher.
2. Type "cd mom" (without the quotes), then press return.
3. Type "svn commit -m "Briefly describe the work you've done." (with the quotes), then press return.

Then your changes should be sent back to the server.

You may want to do a commit every few hours just to keep the server copies up to date.
