Background:
I have a site where there are numerous unrelated groups working
on different projects, and I would like for them to have separate
repositories. Project setup is fully automated.
Question:
Is there a way to handle a large number of repositories, in a
generic fashion, in the subversion.conf file?
Discussion:
In Apache, it is possible to use wildcards in your virtual host
definitions, and subsequently use the string that filled the
wildcard as a substitution. E.g. --
<VirtualHost *>
ServerAlias *.mywebserver.net
VirtualDocumentRoot /whatever/%1/htdocs
VirtualScriptAlias /whatever/%1/cgi-bin
</VirtualHost>
This way, a large number of websites can be added, without
making any changes whatsoever to the httpd.conf file. This has
the advantage of keeping the httpd.conf file from getting
ridiculously huge, and saves us from having to restart the
webserver on a regular basis, as new projects are added.
I was curious if there is a similar wildcard technique that
can be used in the subversion.conf file, or if I'm going to
be stuck creating an entry in subversion.conf for every single
repository. Any hints?
Thanks for your advice!
Tess
