Repository layout and configuration of apache

[Richard Piatkowski <ar...@gmx.de>]

Hi...

we are setting up a subversion server to manage our projects.
Because the number of independent projects is high, we chose to use
the one repository-per-project system.

The subversion server is running as a part of apache2.
We are managing our peoject through our intranet system.
Every project has a number, so i wanted to manage the different
subversion repositories by simply enumerating them.

while the amount of repositories is low, it is quite easy to add a
apache directive for each repository. but with more than 500 
repositories/projects it would be nice to find an automatic way.

so I am trying to change my apache configuration directive to use
a regular expresion that redirect each http request to a repository.
but it seems, that the apache is ignoring every kind of regular
expression.

a simple example:

<LocationMatch /test_1>
    DAV svn
    SVNPath "d:\svn_repos\test_1"
</LocationMatch>

The above configuration is working, while

<LocationMatch /test_[0-9]{1}>
    DAV svn
    SVNPath "d:\svn_repos\test_1"
</LocationMatch>

is not working at all.

Why? Any ideas?

Take a look at SvnParentPath, I think that'll do what you're looking
for.
