I and a friend are working on a program together and he set up a SVN
server on his own server for code files, but as it now I will make a
SVN Checkout by hand and this are a thing I have forget to do on some
times.

Is it a SVN client/plug-in to Lazarus as make a SVN checkout after
every build ?
It would be nice if the SVN clinet/plug-in auto detect what project as
load in Lazarus to.

set the svn server to work with locks and your client to set the
checked in files to read only.

that way you will have to check them out before working on them and
you will always get the latest source this way. Don't forget to check
them in again after you have finished working on them.

I wouldn't update automatically. I doubt the svn plugin does that.

But you can define commands that should run before or after each build
in the project settings. So you can run "svn up" there.

On Windows 7 I use TortoiseSVN Version 1.8 client for Windows file
explorer.
Can I put "[path to TortoiseSVN exe file] svn checkout [-depth ARG]
[--ignore-externals] [-r rev] URL PATH"
in Project Options for project->Execute after->Command

Will that work or is it a better way to do this?
