These are the httpd.conf directives that apply to mod_dav_svn:
DAV svn
Must 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|Off
Toggles 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|Off
When its value is On
,
allows write requests from WebDAV clients to result in
automatic commits. A generic log message is autogenerated 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. The default
value of this directive is Off
.
SVNPath
directory-path
Specifies 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
component
Specifies 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
name
Specifies 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-path
Specifies the URI of an XSL transformation for directory indexes. This directive is optional.
SVNParentPath
directory-path
Specifies 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_circuit
Controls path-based authorization by enabling subrequests (On
), disabling subrequests (Off
; see Disabling path-based checks), or
querying mod_authz_svn directly (short_circuit
). The default value of
this directive is On
.
SVNListParentPath
On|Off
When 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
url
Specifies a URI to the master Subversion repository (used for a write-through proxy).
SVNActivitiesDB
directory-path
Specifies 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>
