Re: server config

Being that you will be using WebDAV, I'd recommend you look at the
AuthzSVNAccessFile directive and control the access you want that way.

Here is what mine looks like:

<Location /svn>
        DAV svn
        SVNPath /var/svn
        AuthzSVNAccessFile /var/svn/svnaccess.conf
        Require Valid-User
        AuthType Basic
        AuthName "Code Repository"
        AuthUserFile /var/svn/passwd
</Location>

HTH. YMMV.

Regards,
Dana
