[PATCH] Simple user-logging for svnserve daemon mode

From: Sir Woody Hackswell <woody_at_hackswell.com>
Date: 2003-03-25 18:57:22 CET

Hello all!

Submitted for your review is a patch to allow the svnserve daemon to pull a
username from the svn:// URI so that all accesses are not anonymous. To
turn it on, start svnserve with a -s flag (simpleauth).

For example, if I access a repository with svn://robin/repos/proj1, my
access will be "anonymous". If I access it with
svn://woody@robin/repos/proj1, then transactions are logged with "woody".

This mode is meant for closed development where everyone is "known" and
"trustworthy". It is not meant to be secure. It is meant to work around
the hassles of ssh and the complete anonyminity(sp) of svnserve daemon mode.

My main goal here is to have a nice replacement for VSS. Subversion looks
and works very nice so far in my testing of it. :) I don't need apache 2.0.
It is much slower than svnserve. And reasonably so. We don't _need_ all of
its features. Svnserve is sufficient, but we DO need to know who committed
what. We are 5 developers, and security is not a concern here. (LAN not on
internet).

This could be extended further by having the client pull the current
username and attaching it to the URI, so it's transparent to the user.

I hope that this patch... or something similar, might make it one day into
the trunk. :) Thanks!
