How to set proxy configuration of SVK

Question

I'm working behind a proxy, and now I'm trying to mirror a remote subversion repository, then got could not connect to server error with the svn mirror command.

I found the following on svk faq page:

Currently svk doesn't have its own configuration file. however it loads the one that subversion uses, which should be ~/.subversion/servers. It will be created after the first time you run svn

BUT I just used the tortoiseSVN as my svn client, and there is no /.subversion/servers in my user dir.

How can I setup the proxy configuration in my situation?

Answer 1

Create the file manually. From this oracle page on svn proxy settings:

Create a text file ~/.subversion/servers (Linux) or %HOME%\.subversion\servers

Add these two lines:

http-proxy-host = xxx.xxx.xxx.com
http-proxy-port = 8080

Fill in the correct values for your proxy.
