title: Subversion: Defining a Location Alias
body: <p>I have a Subversion repository on a BSD box using svnserve and I'm accessing it with a BSD client via:</p>
  
  <pre><code>svn co svn://my.domain.com/my/repo/dirs ...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>which is fine, but I always access using the same domain and I often have to checkout several different directories and retyping the domain is a pain. The svnserve binary is invoked as a daemon and with a specified root directory:</p>
  
  <pre><code>svnserve -d -r /svn/root
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'd like to to configure my subversion client so I can type something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>svn co dir1/ dir2/subdir dir2/subdir2/
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to check in, check out and whatever else since the domain never changes.  It would also be nice to have a default directory to check out the files to.  I've looked in the book but haven't found anything.  I could do this via the shell but it seems like a facility that Subversion might have.  </p>
  
  <p>Did I not read the book well enough or is it not possible?</p>
