I found RapidSVN -http://rapidsvn.tigris.org/, which I worked out how to use in a fraction of the time it would have taken to type half of those command lines, and I soon had my plugin uploaded.
The basics of RapidSVN, to get you going are…
- Install it
- Right click on ‘Bookmarks’
- Click ‘Add Existing Repository’
- Paste in the URL sent to you by WordPress for your plugins SVN location
- The above step will have added a new Bookmark
- Right click on the new bookmark and choose ‘Checkout New Working Copy’. Another new bookmark will be added, for the local version
- Once it’s checked out to wherever you choose locally just add your files to it, edit them, whatever’s needed
- Once you’re done adding/editing stuff to your local version, right click that version (not the live svn one) in your bookmarks and choose ‘Commit’
- You’re done, you files are now in WordPress’s SVN repository
