All
I'm using CYGWIN's subversion 1.3.0.
"svnadmin help create" says that the default repository type is FSFS, yet
Ben Collins-Sussman SVN book (rev 2118) says:
"*In Subversion 1.0, a Berkeley DB repository is always created. In
Subversion 1.1, a Berkeley DB repository is the default repository type, but
an FSFS repository can be created using the --fs-type option:*
*$ svnadmin create /usr/local/svn/repos --fs-type fsfs*"
Which is the 'truth'? Or to be more specific, how do I find out what
type of repository I have? I did not specify "--fs-type" when I
created my repositories.
Thx Attila
