SVN Terminologies - checkouts, working copy, property, repository

Question

While I\'m trying to learn how to use svn:externals, I\'m having hard time understanding the differences of these terms. How are they different?

Answer 1

• Working Copy (noun) - directory tree, which holds some slice of repository
• Checkout (verb) - action of getting initial content from repo to folder, which become Working Copy after it
• Property (noun) - attribute of repository-object
• Repository (noun) - storage of versioned data and related metadata, with which interacts clients
• Project (noun) - (in quoted context) combination of WC and related repo (ORed), may have meaning of WCs-set, which form full product

Repository is logical tree, there trunk is part of this tree
