    SVN checkout from a repo in networked windows PC

    Hi,

    I have in a network my linux system and a windows system.
    My repository exists in the external drive of my windows PC.
    I can browse the contents of the shared stuff in the windows PC from the linux PC.

    I want to checkout that repo into my linux system.

    what is the command to use????

    I've tried
    svn co smb://path/to/repo

    but it does not work.

    Can someone please help what I have to be doing.

    Thanks,
    MKandula

    To my knowledge, subversion doesn't natively support smb. The types available from the SVN documentation are http, svn and file.

    Try mounting the smb share somewhere and then using

    Code:
    svn co file:///path/to/repo
    If you're not sure about that then the documentation will also cover setting up and SVN server.

    Let us know how you get on,

    Chris...
