Setting up svnserve

[Denis Golubev <go...@ukr.net>]

Hello, All.

I'm a newbie in subversion administration, so my questions can be stupid.

I'm going to setup subversion repository on linux server with access via 
svnserve.

My repository is placed in /var/svnrepos
In svn docs mentioned that if I launch svnserve with -r option than I 
can simply access to repository via host name. But it doesn't:

I launch
#svnserve -d -r /var/svnrepos

And if I try to do something with repository from client, I obtain 
following problems:

$svn co svn://host/
A  host/var
A  host/var/svnrepos
A  host/var/svnrepos/file1.txt
Checked out revision 1.

So as you can see any user will know my server paths to repository which 
is not correct.

How can I setup repository to obtain following behaviour:

svn co svn://host/
or
svn co svn://host/repository_alias/

will checkout only file1.txt (without full server path) ?

Did you actually *try* the scenario you described?  The problem  
doesn't exist:

$ ls /usr/local/svn
testrepos
benrepos
repos-old

$ svnserve -d -r /usr/local/svn

$ svn co svn://localhost/benrepos wc
A    wc/search.txt
A    wc/mono.txt
A    wc/parental_history
A    wc/driver.z5
A    wc/hellochairs.z5
A    wc/bookreview.txt
[...]
