For SVN, the URL of the new repository is in the Repository URL box, and the
trunk folder is selected. Specify file:// URLs and create new repositories for
single users only. For multiple users, see “Share a Subversion Repository” on page
32-22.(^6) In the Specify SVN Repository URL (SVN) or Select a Repository (Git), click Validate
to check the path to the selected repository, and then click OK.
If your SVN repository has a file URL, a warning appears that file URLs are for single
users. Click OK to continue.
(^7) In the Manage Files Using Source Control dialog box, choose the location for your
sandbox, and then click Retrieve.
For an SVN sandbox, the selected folder can contain files. However, for a Git
sandbox, the selected folder must be empty. You cannot clone a remote repository
into a folder that contains files.
You need some additional setup steps if you want to merge branches with Git. See
“Install Command-Line Git Client” on page 32-31.
After integrity checks are complete, you can commit the first version of your files to the
new repository.
