I was thinking about setting up Subversion at work to replace a long defunct Visual SourceSafe versioning system.  A co-worker asked me about it and that reminded me that I wrote a very good and very simpe (if I do say so myself) walk-through for setting up a fresh Subversion repository.

This is the original Subversion step by step walk-through I set this up on my home pc for http://www.whatsyour20.com and it still seems valid. 

It appears that the FSFS format is still preferred over the Berkeley DB format.
