Re: [Axiom-developer] SVN problems

Hi Tim,

I don't know on which system you work, but I had no problem with the svn 
on debian that I installed via

apt-get -i subversion

Just use

svn checkout https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/axiom/trunk
svn update
-- change something
svn commit

I have no idea why you needed "svn tags". That is basically like copying 
a directory. Completely irrelevant to commit the Gold patches to 
silver/trunk. "svn tags" is definitely not the same as "cvs tag".
