== Edit the Access Control List (ACL) ==

Say your username is bubba. Have someone with Administrator privileges do the following:[[BR]]
Go to [https://www.hosted-projects.com/ https://www.hosted-projects.com/] , [[BR]]
Log in as the account holder, [[BR]]
Pull down {{{Manage ACLs}}}, [[BR]]
Hit '''Go''', [[BR]]
and make an entry like:
{{{
[roms_sed:/branches/bubba_branch]
bubba = rw
csherwood = r
jcwarner = r
arango = r
rsignell = r
}}}

== Check to Make Sure You Can See the Repository ==
Right-click and choose {{{Repo-browser}}} from TortoiseSVN.[[BR]]
Enter the URL {{{https://svn1.hosted-projects.com/cmgsoft/roms_sed/}}}[[BR]]
Now you should be able to look at the trunk and maybe some branches (depending on ACL), but bubba_branch won't be there yet.


== Import a Copy of the Trunk ==
This process brings a copy of main code from the repository to your computer and places it under SVN control.[[BR]]
Make a directory...name it something meaningful to you, for example {{{Bubba_ROMS_SED}}}[[BR]]
Right-click on the directory folder icon, and choose {{{SVN Checkout...}}}
URL of repository:[[BR]]
{{{https://svn1.hosted-projects.com/cmgsoft/roms_sed/trunk}}}[[BR]]
Checkout directory:
{{{Bubba_ROMS_SED}}}[[BR]]
You should see a bunch of stuff stream by like:
{{{

}}}
Click OK.

== Create a Branch ==
In TortoiseSVN, choose {{{Branch/tag}}}. (To see this option in TortoiseSVN, you have to right-click on a directory that is under SVN control...but it does not have to be related to the project at hand).[[BR]]
From WC at URL:[[BR]]
{{{https://svn1.hosted-projects.com/cmgsoft/roms_sed/trunk}}}[[BR]]
to URL:[[BR]]
{{{https://svn1.hosted-projects.com/cmgsoft/roms_sed/branches/bubba_branch}}}[[BR]]
Click OK.[[BR]]

The branch will exist in the repository... you can repeat the steps above to make a copy of the branch on your computer.[[BR]]

== Make Changes in Your Branch ==
You can make new files, change existing files, etc. Only existing files will automatically be under SVN control. To add new files, create them in a directory under SVN control (or copy them in from somewhere else).[[BR]]
Then, you can right-click on the filename, and choose {{{Add...}}} under TortoiseSVN, or...[[BR]]
You will be given an opportunity later (see next step).[[BR]]
If you compile the code and generate a bunch of .f90 and .o files, or run the model and generate output, they will not be under SVN control unless you add them eThat is usually what you want.

== Commit Your Changes ==
Navigate to the top directory in your local copy of your branch, e.g., {{{../Bubba_ROMS_SED}}} and right-click. Choose 
{{{SVN Commit...}}}[[BR]]
Commit to:[[BR]]
{{{https://svn1.hosted-projects.com/cmgsoft/roms_sed/branches/bubba_branch}}}[[BR]]
Message:[[BR]]
(add a meaningful comment here)
Changes made:[[BR]]
(Will show files with changes. If the {{{Show unversioned files}}} box is checked, you will see any files you added to the directory. This is your opportunity place them under SVN control. Say you made one named {{{foo}}} that you want to add...check it and[[BR]]
Click OK.
{{{

Sending content: Bubba_ROMS_SED\foo

}}}


== Work Cycle ==
You can Import this branch to another computer...that is the best way to synchronize, say, a desktop at work with a travelling laptop.[[BR]]
After that, the cycle is:[[BR]]
At the top local directory, right-click, and under TortoiseSVN {{{'''Check for modifications'''}}}. Click Check Repository.[[BR]]
Make changes.[[BR]]
{{{'''Check for modifications'''}}} or {{{'''SVN Update'''}}} (again..can't hurt).[[BR]]
Finally, {{{'''SVN Commit...'''}}}[[BR]]
