I think you may be confusing the concept of a repository and a working copy. There should only be one repository for a project. The repository is basically just a central copy of your code base.
You checkout the code from the repository to your debug server. When you make changes to your source code you will commit them and they go to the repository. You then run an svn update on the debug server working copy to get the latest changes to test with.
If you have your working copy on the host and not in the guest (VM), the easiest way is to use the shared folders in the VM... Setup your shared folder to point to your projects folder on the host, or a subfolder where you have your working copy. Inside the VM you can link your www-root eg. To /var/www/myproject.com to have the same path as on your production server. So you have only 1 working copy shared with your test server inside the VM.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
