Conflict between webDav and svnserve ?

[Loïc Joly <lo...@wanadoo.fr>]

Hello,

I'm trying to set up a subversion repository. I first installed it with 
an apache server, and it worked correctly, but very slowly (about 8s to 
diff two normal sized files, on a local network). I then tried to 
install svnserve to see if it worked faster. I installed it, and it 
worked (significantly faster).

So, if everything works, where is the problem ? Well, after the second 
installation, I tried to access the data through http:// once more, but 
then it failed. And more than just failing, it corrupted the database 
every time every time I tried. Access through svn:// of file:// still 
works (well, after I correct the database through svnadmin recover of 
course).

So, I would like to know if there are some specific issues when 
accessing the database through both servers at the same time ?

By the way, I could notice some access rights stuff that might be 
related to my problem. All my repository is in a folder owned by 
dev:devgroup, apache is running under the username apache:apache (but 
devgroup is a secondary user group for apache). Apache created (the 
first time only, not during further tests) in my folder some log file 
with user apache:apache, and I had to change the owner of those files 
manually before svnadmin recover could work.


Last question : Is adding per directory access rights while using 
svnserve high on the priority list for subversion evolutions ?

Best regards,

Well, I had read it at the beginning of my discovery of subversion, but 
could not find it any longer. Thank you for the link.

You have read

Uh, I guess you *haven't* read it.  Go read it now :-)

I'm pretty sure a patch would be welcome.

To be more precise: I'd love to see it, and I think that others who
work on svnserve more than I do would also love to see it (or at the
very least would not object).  But it's not high on anyone's priority
list right now, as far as I can tell.
