Creating a Repository

Create your Subversion Root directory: mkdir ~/svnroot
Choose a data-store: Berkeley DB or FSFS http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch05.html#svn-ch-5-sect-1.3
To create a repository with a FSFS data-store (recommended): svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs \ ~/svnroot/test-fsfs-repos
To create a repository with a Berkeley DB data-store (do so at your own peril!): svnadmin create ~/svnroot/test-bdb-repos

Create your Subversion Root directory: mkdir ~/svnroot
