Subversion Documentation error

[Jens Olsson]

Hi

I recently installed a Svn server with the help of
https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/subversion.html. A very good
guide, works, well written and simple.

There is howerver one small error which led to some confusion. This  is
the suggested apache.conf settings:

 <Location /svn>
  DAV svn
  SVNPath /path/to/repos
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "Your repository name"
  AuthUserFile /etc/subversion/passwd
  <LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
  Require valid-user
  </LimitExcept>
  </Location>

SVNPath does NOT work if you don't point it to /path/to/repos/project.
To do what you want to do above (needed for multiple projects) you need
SVNParentPath /path/to/repos

And just to nitpick a little: Perhaps you should recomend storing these
settings in a seperate file called svn.conf stored in /etc/apache2/conf.d
?
If you install phpmyadmin for example it adds its configuration that way,
and consistency is always nice...

Keep up the good work!
