Multiple Repositories

[dn...@cscholar.com]

Is it possible for svn to be setup so that each account (website) on a host
could have it's own repository if desired?

I have asked my host to do this, and they are taking the matter into
consideration.

If it is possible I would appreciate if someone would provide an example of how
to setup apache for this.

Which might help speed up the process of the host making this available.

The os is Fedora Core, and the server software is apache.

Thanks,
DNR

You could have them set up multiple <Location> directives, one for each 
repository.  For ease of keeping them straight, they could create the 
repositories pretty much anywhere, including all in one directory.

<Location /svn>
  DAV svn
#Assumes that the ~ will be able to populate the username.  I'm not sure 
of a nice, dynamic way to populate this, if there is such a thing.
  SVNPath /repos_home/~
  AuthType Basic
  blah blah blah
</Location>

e.g. http://www.mydomain.com/~myhome/svn

Another option would be to manually create a separate <Location> 
directive for each account that desires one.  They could even locate it 
inside of separate Virtual Hosts. 

Food for thought...

Regards,
Frank

I'm new to Subversion, so you may want to value my ideas accordingly - and 
I welcome thoughts and corrections from others. (I recently set up 
Subversion for my team at work, and I'm using at home for personal stuff, 
including web site development.)

Where do you develop your web site code now? Are you the only developer? I 
develop my code on my PC, where I run Apache and PHP, then FTP it up to my 
host. Therefore I installed Subversion on my PC. I have one repository for 
all my projects (it has a folder for each web site). I run the Subversion 
client on my PC, and commit to the repository. Since I'm the only 
developer, I simply connect to the repository with a file:// connection.
