Using svnmerge.py with mixed svn client versions (1.4 & 1.5) and svn 1.5 server

After evaluating svn 1.5's merge features, it was decided that we'll stick with svnmerge to manage merges until the rename & reflective merge issues are sorted out (hopefully in svn 1.6). My...

Using SVNSERVE to host Subversion server, configuration files, etc.

I have a SVNSERVE server set up to host multiple repositories. Short question here My question is really this: I have authz, passwd, and svnserve.conf in the main directory outside the repositories, and this seems to work, in the sense that changes here will give, or deny, access to the relevant repositories.

Can the SVN and HTTP protocols be used safely on the same repository simultaneously?

We would like to evaluate whether the SVN protocol works better for our team than HTTP, but we don't want to commit to a full switch just yet. Right now we have an Apache sever serving up our main repository. Can we safely use svnserve.exe to with the same repository so that a few of our developers can test it? My initial guess is that ...

SVNServ deny write access to a directory via wildcard match.

Hi, We have a requirement that every piece of code that makes it into production will be reviewed by a senior developer.

Is svnserve not strictly required for a local, single-user repo?

I was reading the Red Bean book and noticed this paragraph: Do not be seduced by the simple idea of having all of your users access a repository directly via file:// URLs.
