 The official Subversion client is included with Linux and BSD. Binaries for other platforms are available from the Subversion team.

 #Access
-The official Subversion client uses a URL to access the Subversion repository. URLs for SourceForge.net-hosted Subversion repositories take the form (replacing PROJECTNAME with the UNIX group name of the project): https://svn.code.sf.net/p/PROJECTNAME/REPONAME

-For example, the Subversion repository for the Portable Apps project would be located at: https://svn.code.sf.net/p/portableapps/code/

     Checked out revision 1.

 With this configured, you can delete the entire repository directory and start from scratch, if needed. Any SVN operations that you want to run should be run from within the ~/working_copy directory to simulate the same experience you would have from within the working copy you would maintain for any SVN repository (be it on SourceForge.net or the test repository you configured following the above steps).
