Thanks to JMarc for getting SVN access set up for me. However, I've
never used SVN for development. I've gone through

  https://wiki.lyx.org/Devel/Subversion

and

  http://www.lyx.org/HowToUseSVN

but I still have questions.

My first question is: is there a simple command I can run to check that
my SVN access works correctly (e.g. that I have the right password)?

Second, how can I checkout the website files, make a simple change, and
push those changes? From what I understand, "svn commit" is similar to
git commit + git push. Is that right? When I look at "svn commit --help"
I do not see an option for dry-run.

Is it something like the following?

svn co svn://svn.lyx.org/lyx/www-user/trunk www-user
cd www-user
# make changes (e.g. update news and rss)
make
# the following will ask me for my user name and password
svn commit
