Server pointing to a directory inside repository

[br...@embraer.com.br]

I have a svnserve configured at url: svn://myserver/.
It points to my repository root ("/").
Is it possible to make it point directly to "/trunk" or to another directory inside my repository?
I tried using "svnserve -d -r /path/to/repo/trunk" but it doesn't work.
Is it possible using an Apache server?

I don't think you can. /trunk is a versioned entity within the repository.
Just like any other directory or file in the repo. svnserve (or apache) is
there to serve the entire svn repository and not a particular entity within
it.

Subversion causing Apache Errors in error_log

["Atluri, Vamsi" <VA...@mgmmirage.com>]

Hello All

 

Im trying to identify what is causing my error below, apache is
complaining about subversion - but I cant figure whats causing it. It
does not impact my daily functions or behavior at all - but if I the
service is not restarted occasionally this log file can grow quite large
taking up disk space

 

Im not entirely sure how or why this is happening, but the error_log in
the apache installation directory can grow up to 10-15mb in an 8hr day
with error below. Has anyone ever seen this before

 

I am setup with subversion and apache using LDAP authentication

 

Any and all input is appreciated - Thanks
