Disable svn:// and enable svn+ssh://

[Chris Henderson <he...@gmail.com>]

Is there any way to explicitly turn off svn:// and turn on svn+ssh://
on  /subversion/conf/svnserve.conf or elsewhere? What I found is that
if I have a blank /subversion/conf/userfile file, svn:// is usually
disabled. But I want to use the authz-db option and wondering whether
I would still be able to us authz-db when I have a blank userfile.

My subversion is v1.3.2 on OpenBSD4.1.

Any kind of help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

The svn:// access method relies on a running svnserve process (or one started 
automatically by e.g. xinetd). The svn+ssh:// first creates an SSH connection 
to the server and then starts an svnserve process there, tunneling the 
communication through the SSH connection.

Now, if you want to disable plain svn:// access, the only thing you have to do 
is disable the svnserve service.

The files in the conf directory of a repository are used by svnserve, 
regardless of whether it is started as service or from an SSH session, so 
messing with those files is futile if you want different behaviour.
