mod_dav_svn Configuration Directives — Apache configuration directives for serving Subversion repositories through the Apache HTTP Server.
This section briefly describes each Subversion Apache configuration directive. For an in-depth description of configuring Apache with Subversion, see the section called “httpd, the Apache HTTP Server”.)
These are the httpd.conf directives
          that apply to mod_dav_svn:
DAV svnMust be included in any
                Directory or
                Location block for a Subversion
                repository.  It tells httpd to use the Subversion
                backend for mod_dav to handle all
                requests.
SVNAllowBulkUpdates On|OffToggles support for all-inclusive
                responses to update-style REPORT
                requests.  Subversion clients use
                REPORT requests to get information
                about directory tree checkouts and updates from
                mod_dav_svn.  They can ask the
                server to send that information in one of two ways:
                with the entirety of the tree's information in one
                massive response, or with a
                skelta (a skeletal
                representation of a tree delta) which contains just
                enough information for the client to know what
                additional data to request from
                the server.  When this directive is included with a
                value of Off,
                mod_dav_svn will only ever respond
                to these REPORT requests with
                skelta responses, regardless of the type of responses
                requested by the client.
Most folks won't need to use this directive at
                all.  It primarily exists for administrators who
                wish—for security or auditing reasons—to
                force Subversion clients to fetch individually all the
                files and directories needed for updates and
                checkouts, thus leaving an audit trail of
                GET and PROPFIND
                requests in Apache's logs.  The default value of this
                directive is On.
SVNAutoversioning On|OffWhen its value is
                On, allows write requests from
                WebDAV clients to result in automatic commits.  A
                generic log message is auto-generated and attached to
                each revision.  If you enable autoversioning, you'll
                likely want to set ModMimeUsePathInfo
                On so that mod_mime can
                set svn:mime-type to the correct
                MIME type automatically (as best as
                mod_mime is able to, of course).
                For more information, see Appendix C, WebDAV and Autoversioning.  The default value of this
                directive is Off.
SVNPath
              directory-pathSpecifies the location in the
                filesystem for a Subversion repository's files.  In a
                configuration block for a Subversion repository,
                either this directive or
                SVNParentPath must be present, but
                not both.
SVNSpecialURI
              componentSpecifies the URI component (namespace) for
                special Subversion resources.  The default is
                !svn, and most
                administrators will never use this directive.  Set
                this only if there is a pressing need to have a file
                named !svn in your repository.
                If you change this on a server already in use, it will
                break all of the outstanding working copies, and your
                users will hunt you down with pitchforks and flaming
                torches.
SVNReposName
              nameSpecifies the name of a Subversion repository for
                use in HTTP GET responses.  This
                value will be prepended to the title of all directory
                listings (which are served when you navigate to a
                Subversion repository with a web browser).  This
                directive is optional.
SVNIndexXSLT
              directory-pathSpecifies the URI of an XSL transformation for directory indexes. This directive is optional.
SVNParentPath
              directory-pathSpecifies the location in the filesystem of a
                parent directory whose child directories are
                Subversion repositories.  In a configuration block for
                a Subversion repository, either this directive or
                SVNPath must be present, but not
                both.
SVNPathAuthz On|Off|short_circuitControls path-based authorization by enabling
                subrequests (On), disabling
                subrequests (Off; see the section called “Disabling path-based checks”),
                or querying mod_authz_svn directly
                (short_circuit).  The default
                value of this directive is On.
SVNListParentPath On|OffWhen set to On, allows
                a GET
                of SVNParentPath, which results in
                a listing of all repositories under that path.  The
                default setting is
                Off.
SVNMasterURI
              urlSpecifies a URI to the master Subversion repository (used for a write-through proxy).
SVNActivitiesDB
              directory-pathSpecifies the location in the filesystem where the
                activities database should be stored.  By default,
                mod_dav_svn creates and uses a directory in the
                repository
                called dav/activities.d.  The
                path specified with this option must be an absolute
                path.
If specified for
                an SVNParentPath area, mod_dav_svn
                appends the basename of the repository to the path
                specified here.  For example:
<Location /svn> DAV svn # any "/svn/foo" URL will map to a repository in # /net/svn.nfs/repositories/foo SVNParentPath "/net/svn.nfs/repositories" # any "/svn/foo" URL will map to an activities db in # /var/db/svn/activities/foo SVNActivitiesDB "/var/db/svn/activities" </Location>
