Yeah, but at the same time, it feels weirdly, overly complex to me.
I mean, imagine that a repository is correctly set up to have private
logfiles. Several confused users try accessing the wrong URL and get
rejected; these accesses end up in the global logs. But then the
users get the URL correct, and so their accesses are now going into
the repository's private logs. Hm.
When admins ask, "hey, where do I find svnserve's logs?", the answer
is now "look in two or more places, possibly".
It makes me wonder, honestly, if the 'errorlog' shouldn't be
completely global, all of the time, and can cover all debugging/error
messages for all repositories. We could decide that the *only* per-
repository logs are individual accesslogs.
