Hm, I'm not sure. I'm not very familiar with creating services on Windows
(as you can tell).
As I stated in my question, I created the service with the following
command:
sc create svn binpath= "\"C:\Program Files\Subversion\bin\svnserve.exe\"
--service --root U:\svn_repository" displayname= "Subversion Server" depend=
Tcpip
No other configuration has been made to the service... do I need to set
somehow what user account should run the service?
