Short, but not very practical. Running “svnserve -d” isn’t how you properly start a daemon. You need to configure it to run at boot time.

For fizeen, you have misunderstood the comments above. If SVN_EDITOR, VISUAL or EDITOR are NOT set (which is your situation), you need to set one of these environment variables. For example,

export EDITOR=vi

Many distributions have EDITOR set already, so others did not need to set it.

Then, do the import.

When i tried with the third step its giving me a error message
svn import /script/ file:///svnrepos/script
svn: Could not use external editor to fetch log message; consider setting the $SVN_EDITOR environment variable or using the –message (-m) or –file (-F) options
svn: None of the environment variables SVN_EDITOR, VISUAL or EDITOR is set, and no ‘editor-cmd’ run-time configuration option was found
Please help me

This doesn’t work for me. I built out svn 1.5.4 from source. I do this and I get “svn: No repository found in ’svn://localhost/repositories/myproject”

I also get this error if I install from .deb packages or through apt-get. I’ve also looked through the subversion book, I don’t see what I’m missing.
