Re: Subversion on a SMB-Share

Dear list,

I understand, that I should use a server solution. The problem is, that my manager wants a fast solution and has no server to use.

I have one question: Do I have to intepret the sentence "you can put your share on a network if using a FS-repository" so that I can put the data store onto the network but I should acess it only over svnserver/or httpd (single access - synchronisation is done by the server process) or does it really mean to be able to acess the share over a mounted way with multiple users?

I see problems in using the share directly, that each users is able to completely delete the share. And synchronisation over network file system is in my opinion also a problem. But I think I misinterpreted the sentence.

Thanks.

Sebastian
