Re: Rearranging archive

I'm using file:// 'cause all of the setup instructions I found for using
svn over SSH that I saw do it that way. Our setup is a 'file server'
which I access over the internet using SSH while the others who use it
are on the server's local network. Everything is locked down pretty
tight, there is no http access, only https. What do you suggest?
