svnserve -r option with ssh

[Katarina WONG <kw...@alexandria.cc>]

Hello list,

Although I searched carefully the book and the FAQ, I could not find the  
way to pass the -r option (or an equivalent) to the private servers  
launched when using svn+ssh scheme.

(Note for beholders: the -r option changes the root of the repository as  
far as the clients are concerned, it allows for example to relocate the  
repository without forcing the WCs to be re-checked out. Also it makes the  
paths simpler)

Unfortunately, inetd is not an option on my site.

I was hoping for a server config variable or an env var.

Have a nice day,

Katarina. (kwong@alexandria.cc)

You could wrap 'svnserve' in a script named 'svnserve', that invokes
the *real* svnserve with whatever options you want, including -r.

I know that's a bit inelegant, but it should work.
