Re: [PATCH] svnserve to use a global configuration file

While I haven't reviewed this patch thoroughly, from the description
I'm not in favor of it. Rather than having the global configuration
file override any values specified for per-repository configuration,
shouldn't this work the other way around, as it does for our client
library configuration files? Per-repository configuration should be
overlayed on top of a global configuration file.

Thanks, Dan
