Re: Serving subversion with Apache on ZFS

Hi Andrew.

Thanks for your interest, and we would certainly welcome you to get involved
here with any development needed to make this work, but at the moment your
question is about the use of Subversion so could you please direct it to the
"users_at_s.t.o" list.

See the "Mailing list" links on <http://subversion.tigris.org/>.

Thanks.
- Julian
