Apache module's Subversion support should support the SVNParentPath directive

    • Our product teams collect and evaluate feedback from a number of different sources. To learn more about how we use customer feedback in the planning process, check out our new feature policy.

      As of Crowd 1.2, the support for using subversion authorization files to control access on a per directory basis doesn't work if the SVNParentPath directive is used in the apache config file. This is a known limitation.

      SVNParentPath allows you to put multiple svn repositories in a directory and access them through a single URL (see http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.serverconfig.pathbasedauthz.html and http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.ref.mod_dav_svn.conf.html).

      If you do have multiple repositories you can make it work by defining apache <Location> blocks for each one and using a separate authz file for each, but it's a bit more work to set up and maintain.

      Example:

      <Location /svn/tools1>
DAV svn
SVNPath /usr/local/svnrepos/tools1
...
</Location>

<Location /svn/tools2>
DAV svn
SVNPath /usr/local/svnrepos/tools2
...
</Location>

<Location /svn/tools3>
DAV svn
SVNPath /usr/local/svnrepos/tools3
...
</Location>
