You access your repository using a URL similar to what you would use in a web browser. However this URL is used with a Subversion client. There are several GUI clients and a command line client. _*The command line client is described in the Subversion Book linked to on the right.*_
Let's start by decomposing the URL.
* The protocol
{blockquote}
The first part of the URL listed above is *http*. You could also use *https*. The difference between the two is if you use *http* you will not be prompted for authentication thus you will be restricted to only being able to access repositories that are readable by the public. If you use the *https* protocol, you will be prompted to authenticate and then you will be able to access any repository for which you have permission.
