.htaccess commit issue

Hello Friends,

I have an Apache-SVN server and  what i have noticed that any folder with
.htaccess file or even ^.ht wont get committed in SVN.

I understand that this is an expected security behavior by apache, but what
I am looking here a proven workaround, so that my users can commit those
folder also which has such file in it.

Below is my current config:


<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin debajit_kataki@gmail.com
    ServerName svn1.deb.com
    ServerAlias www.svn1.deb.com
    DocumentRoot "/var/www/svn/repos"
<Files ~ "^\.ht">
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
    Satisfy All
</Files>
<Location /repos>
        DAV svn
        SVNPath "/var/www/svn/repos"
        AuthType Basic
        AuthName "Authorization Realm"
        AuthUserFile /var/www/svn/.htpasswd
        AuthzSVNAccessFile /etc/svn-acl-conf    *( this is just a user/acl
file and I have given r/w access as of now, so ignore)
        Require valid-user
    </Location>

<Directory "/var/www/svn">
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

    ErrorLog "logs/svn1.deb.com-error_log"
    CustomLog "logs/svn1.deb.com-access_log" combined
</VirtualHost>


Any helps /advice are highly appreciated..

Thanks/-

I can't explain what you're seeing above, but please confirm -- are you really using Subversion 1.1.4 on the server? Versions earlier than 1.5 are not supported anymore, and you should upgrade to the current version, which is 1.6.15.

Thanks Ryan for your reply.

Sorry I was NOT clear and let me elaborate it further.

This is an issue only while I try to commit via any GUI client/rep browser.
Currently I am using Tortoise and I could reproduce it there. Some people
also saw it in Eclipse which I am yet to reproduce.

Via command line I have no issue at all to commit  any ^.ht files.

So i guess apache definitely is NOT the culprit here!!?

I see some thread around this as well on the google:

http://languor.us/eclipse-subversion-ra-layer-request-failed-could-not-read-status-line-errors

Or is it  more of a compatibility issue ?

I am using  Apache/2.2.15 (Unix), subversion-1.1.4-2, tortoise 1.6.0


Thanks/-

I have basically the same snippet in my httpd.conf, globally, for all vhosts, and it does not prevent me from committing .htaccess files to my repository. I suspect something else in your httpd.conf that you haven't shown us is preventing this.
