        # Importing it to your local computer for working:

        # Go into that directory to work:
        cd a1
        # Add your files here ...
        ## Assuming you have made a1.ml and log.txt in here
        # Add files to svn:
        svn add a1.ml
        svn add log.txt
        # Your files are "added", but not transferred yet!!
