Using svn+ssh

[Patrick Nelson <pn...@neatech.com>]

FC2 with subversion 1.0.8

I have been pruning a successful svnserver service through xined.d, but 
I want to start using svn+ssh.  One of the things I like about svnserve 
is the ability to set the root repo with -r switch so my 
/etc/xined.d/svnserve file looks like:

---snip---
service svnserve
{
        disable  = no
        socket_type  = stream
        wait = no
        user = svn
        server = /usr/bin/svnserve
        server_args = -i -r /var/scm
}
---snip---

I have read through the manual and either I missed it or something,  it 
seems like it would go into the runtime configuration...  But how do I 
specify a repo root when using svn+ssh?

Any help appreciated!

OK so there is no configuration way of doing it..  Yet!  Thanks for the 
patch...  although I can not use it because we can only used released 
rpms for FC2.  But I might give it a whirl on my own.

As to my knowledge, there is no configuration option on how svnserve is
called on the "other side" of the ssh tunnel. It is always called as
svnserve -t. This is hard-coded in subversion/libsvn_ra_svn/client.c. I
recently ran into the situation that I had to configure this.

Attached you find a quick patch that allows you to define how svnserve is
called via the environment variable SVN_SSH_SVNSERVE. In your case, setting

export SVN_SSH_SVNSERVE="svnserve -r /var/scm"

might be appropriate. The -t is still added automatically (which can
trivially be altered-- see the source and the patch).

The attached patch has been taken against subversion/libsvn_ra_svn/client.c
from subversion 1.1.0.
