redirection

[wh...@lexmark.com]

Has anyone used redirection with subversion?

What I would like to do is have a central Apache server that has knowledge
of all the repositories in the company.  I may have multiple servers with
multiple repositories but I don't want the developers to have to keep up
with all the different URLs.  I just want them to type in one URL followed
by the repository name and have the request automatically routed to the
appropriate
server.  I also don't want the constaint of only being able to route to
other servers that I can see via NFS.

Thanks in advance for the help.


Jim

Before even thinking about putting any of your repositories on NFS,
please read the FAQ.  In particular:

http://subversion.tigris.org/project_faq.html#nfs

As far as redirection goes, I don't think the Subversion client knows
how to deal with that at the moment.  You might be able to work around
it by getting Apache on your central box to proxy requests to the other
servers.
