Brent, I'm happy to help you in anyway I can (payback for help you've
given me on module development). Are you using Windows or Linux? Or is
it mixed (my server is Linux, and development is currently done on
windows).
The links that Joel posted are certainly the place to start.
On linux subversion is very easy to use on the command line. For windows
I would recommend the Tortoise windows shell.
Personally I don't run a subversion server, rather I access subversion
over SSH. (lookup svn+ssh for details) I do expose my repositories via
Apache using the "viewvc" application.
As for specifically putting vassal modules into subversion, you'll want to
create a build and export script. Then, never check your .mod files into
subversion, just the directory structure from inside of it. This will be
the most effient way to store the changes, and you'll also be able to do
meaning full things with the source files.
Shoot me an email if you're interested in taking a look at some of my setup.
Cheers
-Tim
