Are you setting up a Subversion repository and don't know whether you
should use HTTP or SVN, or does your repository allow you to access
your Subversion repository both ways, and you want to know which to
use.

SVN is usually quicker than HTTP, but HTTP is more flexible to setup.
For example, you can use an LDAP server for loggin on if you're using
HTTP, but it's much more difficult to do with SVN. HTTP is also less
likely to be blocked by routers.

See the on line Subversion manual <http://bit.ly/9qKOxd> for a full discussion.
