I’m calling it “tonal selections,” since it’s based on a curve’s ability to discriminate between lighter and darker tones.

I’ve finally got around to figuring out how to install and configure a Subversion repository on one of my Debian boxes – these notes are more for my benefit than anything else, but through the power of Google they may come in handy for someone else.
Installing Subversion with HTTPS support from scratch:
Installing Subversion on Debian Etch Complete
Creating the initial repository
svnadmin create –fs-type fsfs /var/svn/myproject
Doing the initial import
svn import -m “New import” myproj https://mydomain.com/myproj
This lifts the contents of the myproj directory and imports it into the repository
Working around HTTPS certificate problems in a Subversion client
If you’re using a GUI client to access a svn repository through an https connection, this can cause the client to barf – if it’s an invalid certificate, you may not get the option to trust it.
The workaround (on OS X, at least) is to cache the certificate from the command line so that the gui client will then accept it.
If you fire off
svn list https://host.example.com/repos/project
at the command line, you’ll get the option to reject or accept the certificate. Permanently accept it, and this will be cached and used by the gui client next time you access the repository.
