I am a newbie to 'subversion' or any other version control system. I am also at rudimentary level of emacs but been at it longer than subversion. Like all things 'computer', getting started with the simple opening commands is the hard part. Once I get going I am OK. Enough of the apologia! I want to use emacs as my text editor with subversion. How do I set it up and get started? What has to be in my ~/.emacs, what mode am I looking for? I think I have done my due diligence with subversion tutorials, emacswiki, emacs info, man etc. yet I find myself sitting here looking at a blank emacs frame, scratching my head and saying to myself "What button do I push first?". So, please, someone help me at the most basic level get started using subversion + emacs . -- Regards Bill
