We can browse SVN with the url below:

http://<IPADDRESS>/svn/<repo_name>

http://192.168.1.251/svn/rapti_rp

Now we can create trunk, tags and branches with command below

svn mkdir file:///opt/repo/bheri_rp/tags -m "adding tag directory"
svn mkdir file:///opt/repo/bheri_rp/branches -m "adding branch directory"
svn mkdir file:///opt/repo/bheri_rp/trunk -m "adding trunk directory"

You can find the directories while accessing the svn url

http://192.168.1.251/svn/bheri_rp/

Importing existing project into repo.

svn import /home/dilli/proj_bheri http://192.168.1.251/svn/bheri_rp/ -m "Initial import"

Checkout svn to current directory

Create hook file so that whenever commit occurs some svn command get executed.

cat > post-commit
#!/bin/sh

cd /var/www/web/bheri && /usr/bin/svn update --username username --password password --no-auth-cache >> /tmp/svn.out
