Initial Commit of a New Project

Often, I find myself starting a new project as a proof of concept, with no version control. Later, when it solidifies and becomes serious, I need to check it in and start versioning to track changes. Here are the steps I follow.

Steps to Bring a Project into Subversion

Backup the project
Clean binaries
- mvn clean
Import the project, from the parent folder
- svn import [folder] svn://[server]/[project]/trunk
Close the project from editors / IDEs
Move the project folder
- mv [folder] orig-[folder]
Check out the project from Subversion
- svn co svn://[server]/[project]/trunk [project]
