building a separate server for subversion, allowing subversion to focus
entirely on just repository functions and become a repository engine only
(not a bad thing). What if any is the performance hit where the server would
be used as a regular web server as well? Or is the assumption that a mod_dav
enabled server is dedicated for subversion only. Would there ever be a need
to have a non-Apache type of server for the repository and require a
separate subversion protocol to access it?
the conversion effort. But there also has to be back end conversions as well
to import from other repositories into subversion. A least one from CVS to
subversion to start with.
On your final thought: Existing clients that don't support WebDav needing
some type of proxy to WebDav ... hmm .. I like it.
