Subclipse- single programmer usage

Question

I just started using subclipse for my class projects after a re-writing half of a project due to going off on the wrong logical branch. Since I'm using it on my home systems, I have a couple questions whose answers I haven't found in searching.

Say I have local separate repositories on my computers. First, can I use a file sync to keep them synced until I figure out what I need to do to access the university's network? (aside- only information available is about accessing the network remotely is thru PUTTY and FTP, which are not valid URL strings)

Second, in the same local system, am I correct in that once I check out a project and apply commits regularly, I don't have to keep checking out the project?

Answer 1

You can access SVN repositories via ssh, using urls of the form:

svn+ssh://[email protected]:/mypath/to/repo

From the sounds of things with you saying you have 'putty' access this should be very possible.

I would avoid the "separate local repositories" route as much as possible since keeping them in sync introduces problems that having one, definitive location for the whole repository avoids..
