Hi Andy,
Thanks a lot, for your mail.
Could you pls provide some more information in this regard.
4) We don't access the repository over Apache server. In that case how do
we define users?
Will all Unix users have access to the repository ? I want to restrict
only a few users to access it.
5) When I mentioned," who will administer the Subversion repository ?", I
meant the user/role who will provide access to the users, take backups
etc...
For Ex., in SYNERGY/CM, there are two users, called ccm_admin & informix.
Likewise, in Design Sync, there is a user called Owner/Administrator, who
creates the DesSync server, defines user roles & provides access rights.
I wanted to know, who is the user, responsible for granting access to the
repository and performing maintenance activities on the repository.
Is it the user, 'root', who installed the s/w and created the repository,
responsible ?
Can any user create the repository ?
Thanks again.
Best Regards,
Dilip

There are several. Trac, ViewVC, Jira, Bugzilla and plenty of other
systems can integrate with Subversion. A few quick Google searches
will turn them up.

The server has no control over the client as you describe. This is a good
thing.

The smallest unit which can be checked out from Subversion is a
directory. This is revealed pretty early in the fine manual.

It depends on how you're serving the repository. If you use Apache,
you can integrate with LDAP. Again, all the options for this are
revealed in the fine manual, chapter 6 I believe.

That's a question your organization needs to work out. Unless you have
a different question in mind and the way you worded it is confusing.

In the access control file. Back to Chapter 6 of the manual. But
Subversion doesn't really have fine-grained role ideas - you can
create groups of IDs, and assign permissions to those groups.

Define "multi-site projects"

Many of these answers are available in the manual at
http://svnbook.org/ and with some quick Google searches. _Pragmatic
Version Control_ and William Nagel's _Subversion Version Control_ are
also good books to read to get a better understanding of the software.
They are quick reads.
