I have these small java projects I like to work on. Mostly I work on them from home, but from time to time I like to work on them using my laptop or if I have an idea while working on other projects, I want to add a feature on work. The problem is that the source code is at my house on my main computer, so if I want to work on the code elsewhere, I send the code to myself using my gmail, work on it whereever I want and reupload the code to my main computer. Well, that is a pain in the ... neck. So I got to the conclusion I must use some sort of version control. I picked SVN, because that's what we have at work, then installed a SVN server at my house, got a static IP (using dyn-dns) and used my SVN for my java projects. It worked. But it's not the best way working those things out. First of all, my computer isn't on 24\7 Second - my home computer isn't 100% secured as expected from regular servers.

There is some sort of SVN error which doesn't allow one to use spaces in ones directory structure when using the "externals" svn property. The solution to this one is quite short and simple: Instead of using spaces, use %20  which the svn does understand as a space character. So if your external consists of something like this: "my project/dist" rewrite it to: "my%20project/dist". Yeah, i know, ugly... but it works. BTW - Maybe this isn't a general SVN problem, it might just be a TortoiseSVN problem.
