Re: Committing .htaccess files to a repository

I never used apache with SVN, but i would think that the issue is something
like apache forbiding you to reach .htaccess files.

I run svn to save the changes on my web site, but i always comit using
svn:// or file:// protocol and i can store .ht files wit success
