Guys I'm looking to set up an SVN server. Preferably, I would like a web based set up where people can check out and check in files through a browser or something. Does any such thing exist?

    Check out each individual file through a browser? That's gonna be a major hassle as soon as you have more than a handful of files. You could always check in a zip file, but that kind of defeats the purpose of proper version control for each file.

    Here's how to set up a SVN server in Windows. Just use the command line client or TortoiseSVN for SVN actions.

    Because really, «svn commit -m "My latest updates to a dozen files"» sure beats managing all files through a browser.

    You don't normally check out through a web browser, but SVN does support check in/check out/browsing via WebDAV which uses HTTP, which is probably what you're thinking of. You can browse it via a web browser, but you wouldn't do check in/check out with a web browser. As theSquid's post shows, it's rather simple to get working on Debian. Having proper authentication of users and acl's for them is only a few more basic steps. I also have no idea how what's involved in making it work as such on windows.
