Subject: Mod_dav_svn set up
Date: Wed, 23 Nov 2005 05:29:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1132720883.3076.233.camel@linux.site> (raw)

I configured read-only access by http to svn repositories at the request
of Joe Buck and some others who can't use svn://.

I have not announced this publicly as  even for readonly operations, it
is significantly slower for users, so should only be used as a last
resort.

There are arguments on the subversion list by some that the magic
fairies will come by and make it all super-fast, but DAV requires so
many turnarounds and base64 encoding, etc, that i believe we have better
chances at cold fusion.

If it ever becomes fast, we may want to change our minds about
officially supporting it as an svn access method, but for now, it's just
a burden to us, and a favor to those users who need gcc svn sources
(like Joe), but can't get them.
