I am using mod_dav_svn as a front end, and the SVN authz file is
automatically configured from a database, so I just as well script 100
<Location> directives into the httpd.conf file, as I can script the
entries for repository paths in the SVN config file.

However I am wondering whether there are any consequences for apache
having 100 or more sets of Location directives;

<Location /siteA>
  DAV svn
  SVNPath /usr/local/svn/siteA
  # our access control policy
  AuthzSVNAccessFile /path/to/access/file
</Location>

<Location /siteB>
  DAV svn
  SVNPath /usr/local/svn/siteB
  # our access control policy
  AuthzSVNAccessFile /path/to/access/file
</Location>

I can easily script the files for such a configuration, so I will do that and report back...

It looks like the requirement is to put the repository files on an NFS
mounted filesystem.

Thanks for your suggestions,

Tom
