using SVN in Window

• First install the SVN window client, TortoriseSVN;
• second, to connect the code repository, which is at rainier and needs the ssh to access, you need putty and pageant to set up the ssh2 key in your window enviroment. To do that, you need
  • Go to http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ sgtatham/putty/ and download 3 programms: putty, pageant and puttygen;
  • run the puttygen to genrate your ssh key pair, save the key pair to somewhere (e.g., My Document/mykeys), and append the content of the public key to your .ssh/authorized_keys (you can do that by sshing to rainier by putty and open the file then paste the conent at the end of the file)
  • run the pageant, which will be the icon in your task bar, and then right click the icon to chose ``Add key'' , and tell pageant where your private key file is (you will be asked the passphrase for your private key). pageant is an key agent, it will automatcially send the public key when you build ssh connection and you don't need to type the passpharse every time. To test if it works, using putty to open the connection to the rainier. You should just need to type your log id.

• Now you can play with TortoiseSVN by right click any file and select the menu ``repo-browser'', you need to give the url for where the respository is. In this example , it is svn+ssh://welu@extreme.indiana.edu/l/extreme/svn/codes/multicore/LockPerformance
  Please note that I have the hostname be welu@..., without welu, you may get a popup window to have input username and password. But this window will popuped endlessly, so to be easy , just add your login name as a part of URL.
