I requested the access to the repository by sending a mail at the Subversion Administrators <code_AT_openmrs_DOT_org> , and within some days once the module id conformed as the *feedback*, I got the access to SVN of OpenMRS with the mail from my own Mentor Ben Wolfe that states
"
Welcome to the family! You now have write access to the repository using the same credentials as you do for the wiki and jira sites. Please be sure to read about our repository conventions, including the code of conduct: ".
After that I gone through the Subversion Code of Conduct and http://openmrs.org/help/developers/#Subversion_Code_Repository as asked by the Ben Wolfe.At the same Ben's mail contain a quick small tutorial for the same which is following :
——(Snip from Ben Wolfe mail)—-
If you have already written your code, the easiest way to get your project into svn is using the "share project" link. 1) "Team–>Disconnect" your current project 2) Then "Team–>Share Project" your project 3) Specify a folder name (from the http://svn.openmrs.org repository) of "openmrs-modules/feedback/
trunk" as the directory name
4) Enter a commit comment like "Creating initial directory for feedback"
5) Choose "Team –> Commit" from the root of your project
(For some reason, this only adds the parent folder, so you'll have to now add all the files)
6) Choose "Team–>Commit" on the root of your project
7) Enter a commit comment like "Initial commit of all feedback files"
If you haven't written any code, the easiest thing to do would be to branch another module that you want to start from. basicmodule, helloworldmodule, devexamples/simpleservicemodule are all good candidates.
1) Open the SVN Repository Exploring Perspective in Eclipse
2) Add
http://svn.openmrs.org as a repository
3) Find the module you want to branch, right click on it and choose Branch/Tag
4) Enter
http://svn.openmrs.org/openmrs-modules/feedback/trunk as the "Copy to URL"
5) Choose the "HEAD" revision
6) Enter a commit comment like "Initial commit of all feedback files"
7) Now do an svn checkout of that new trunk folder and start editing, adding, and then committing!
For all subsequent commits, choose "Team–>Commit" from the root of your project and check/uncheck the files that you want to send to the svn server.

On 2011-05-18 16:11:01 +0000 (Wed, 18 May 2011) , I have done my first commit to the OpenMRS repository although that was just a test before the actual work actually start. Although in a hurry I forgot to ignore the target folder which is then corrected with the help of a reminder from my mentor :).
