Subversion

I just spent an hour of precious evening time doing trying to set up Subversion on my Powerbook. I got the client going fine, but setting up the server was another story. The instructions in that article weren't a great help, as they would've turned my Apache2 server into a dedicated subversion server, which I don't want to to do. I know I'm in a bad way when I'm doing terminal commands I don't understand and editing my Apache configuration file, when I really shouldn't be.

I was doing this to have a version history of my ongoing Docwalla wishlist work, which is vaguely useful. I don't don't know why I do these thing where I work on something well outside my nerd-comfort-zone. I'm probably learning something, but I'm also failing.
