Working copy tortoisesvn

I've recently started working with tortoisesvn: I managed to setup an svn repository and import my project

The project is shared on a network drive every one has his own username and password

All the tutorials say to checkout the project in a new folder which will be the working copy, but what about the main project file? when will I used it again? (when saving to the working copy should it save also to the main project?)

Another concept question I don't understand is: The path to test the project should be the working copy? So that everyone can test his own changes before committing. So how can I see the whole project and not only my working copy?

Thank you

  • NEVER place and use Working Copy or Repository on (Windows) network drive - it's a direct way to headache, nightmare and disasters
  • Read and understand at least SVN Book - now you show only misunderstanding and lack of knowledge in basic SCM principles and SVN-lingua

Working Copy isn't some high-level magic, it's ordinary directory tree with your usual files (it just have some additional metadata, which allow to implement VCS-functionality)
