How to use custom path for config file
It would be very useful to be able to compile Subversion to use a different path than /etc/subversion/config for the default configuration file. Is this possible? I've also asked on ServerFault <http://serverfault.com/questions/208385/subversion-doesnt-use-custom-config-path>.
Cheers,
Victor

Look at the next to last Global option in svn help <command>.

You can change this line in subversion/libsvn_subr/config_impl.h ...
# define SVN_CONFIG__SYS_DIRECTORY "/etc/subversion"
... and recompile.
We would happily accept patches that make this path configurable from
the configure script.

If it isn't a compile option, you can edit the source and compile.
Or on Linux, use a symlink from the default location to your
custom location.

This would be even more useful as a compile option (for example the existing --sysconfdir), instead of at each run.
