Setting up an SVN repo on a USB key?

[shrimphead]

Hi

I'm just wondering if there is a way to set up an svn repository on a usb key so that I can move it between computers?

It would be very interesting as I want to work on a couple of personal projects both at home and at work in my lunch hour, and managing different changes and merging files manually is a very time consuming process, even though at the moment there are only 5-6 source files to deal with.

Any suggestions on setting up svn on a usb key? can it be done? or what other options do I have for being able to hack on my code at multiple places without the hassle of manual version control?

the svn book (http://svnbook.red-bean.com/) shows you how to set up a repository on a disk.

Ssam, that's a good link.

An SVN repo on a USB disk is a great idea, I have one myself. It's a simple backup system, keeps all the previous versions, and lets me sync with other computers easily.
