First commit to SVN
So yesterday I set up SVN repo in my shared hosting. I have a project in my local computer that I want to get in there. I did "svn import". I did some modification. I did "svn commit". But then SVN threw a message "Skipped '.'" and nothing was committed.
It turns out that doing "svn import" does not make the imported directory a working svn directory. This is proven by the absence of .svn directory in the imported directory. This explains the Skipped '.' message.
The correct way to do it should be like this: after SVN repo is created, check it out into the would be imported directory using svn checkout. This will create .svn directory which makes the would be imported directory a svn working directory. After that, use svn add to add directories and files to the list of dir/files that will be committed, and then do svn commit.
