features of Apache-Subversion server.

Hello,

The Subversion book says 'an Apache-Subversion server has more features
than svnserve'. Does this mean that update, commit, etc. are possible
via a web browser? If so, could someone point me to documentation? I
didn't see this in the Subversion book. On the other hand, if one is
still using the svn client for most things, why set up mod_dav_svn at
all?

Regards,
Andrew

Tabs in source code (was: features of Apache-Subversion server.)

This is also a good reason to avoid tabs in source code, at least those 
intended to represent variable indentation. Web browsers have no standard 
for how to represent a tab, and I suspect most use the old 8-column 
teletype standard. If you use tabs in your source code to represent some 
other indentation (say, 2, 3, or 4 columns) and you do sub-statement 
alignment (like lining up parameters under the opening paren) then it's 
going to look wrong in a web browser.

No; it means, you can do everything using the HTTP protocol (with http:// urls instead of svn://), plus you can view the latest versions of any file in a web browser (using the same http:// urls).
