Re: Wildcards in subversion.conf file?

Hi!

Did you look at chapter 5 of the svn book? It says:

"If you plan to support multiple Subversion repositories that will reside in
the same parent directory on your local disk, you can use an alternative
directive, the SVNParentPath directive, to indicate that common parent
directory. For example, if you know you will be creating multiple Subversion
repositories in a directory /usr/local/svn that would be accessed via URLs like
http://my.server.com/svn/repos1, http://my.server.com/svn/repos2, and so on, you
could use the httpd.conf configuration syntax in the following example:"

Can be found at http://svnbook.red-bean.com/html-chunk/ch05s04.html

bye,

Erik.
