Checkout from svn repository over ssh

Solution 1:

1. If your SVN server is not running on the default port 22: add a tunnel entry to ~/.subversion/config

   Open the file, look for [tunnels] and a line, for example:

   sshserver = ssh -p [port where your ssh server is running on] -q

   For everybody: add -q if you're getting 'Killed by signal 15' when trying to checkout.

2. Checkout using a absolute path from the remote location

   In this example we use the configured tunnel entry from step 1.

   svn co svn+sshserver://user@server/absolute/path/to/svn/repository/project/

Solution 2:

Why still using svn :-) Try git

Through ssh:

svn co svn+ssh://user@path/to/svn/repo/
or
git svn clone svn+ssh://user@path/to/svn/repo/

Through https:

svn co https://user@path/to/svn/repo/
or
git svn clone https://user@path/to/svn/repo/
