Solution

  • How to setup a SVN server is a very different question than what "branch", "trunk" and "tags" are used for.

    A SVN server can be setup using a lot of different methods: Apache (with dav_svn), svnserve over SSH or countless others.

    Take a look at the svn-book's chapter on server setup for more information.

    If you need more information on SVN in general, the entire book might be of use to you.

    To get a quick overview of SVN, branching and tagging, take a look at the following Wikipedia articles:
