Well, on one server, we have specifically specify $HOME to a location that could be deleted in the future. If that's the case, then there goes the ".subversion" information. So, can the ".subversion" directory be backed up and manually move it somewhere else? I'm assuming not since the subversion program is relying on the $HOME variable. If that directory every got lost, what's the best approach on recovering it so that subversion can still function as normal. Thanks for your inputs.
The .subversion folder only contains your settings. If it's missing, Subversion will create a new one from its defaults.
You can specify an alternate location for this directory by using the --config-dir argument. You'd have to specify it every time you run the svn command.
