Setup SVN over SSH server

To setup SVN over SSH server use following steps:

1. First ensure that all users who are going to use the repository are in some group.
2. Ensure users of above group can SSH to machine
3. Create a SVN repository folder using command:

   svnadmin create <folder_name>

   The above folder should be created in some common place such as '/opt/svn' instead of creating in users home folder.

4. Change group owner of folder to created group using 'chgrp -R <group_name> <folder_name>'
5. Checkout revision 0 of svn folder using:

   svn co svn+ssh://<ssh_username>@<machine_ip_or_name><SVN_repository_folder_path>

6. Now user can work on the working copy using commands such as 'svn up' or 'svn commit' etc.
