Hey ho, With a couple fellow students, I have a small school project going, and we thought a repository might be a nice way of managing what little and slow progress we're making at this point. It'd be nice to be able to use the repo fully by the time it will be useful.
For a while, I've considered darcs, but we didn't really get along. SVN seemed a little overkill for what it will be used for, initially, but from reading the docs, I think it will manage downward scalability just fine... :-) About to set things up, and after reading the SVN book, I'm left with some questions still. The book itself barely mentions permissions, and when it does (at the end of chapter 6), it suggests I create a new group (called "svn"), and add those users to it that will need to access the repository. In this case, that'd be myself (I'd prefer using file:/// URLs) and www-data (since Debian provides libapache2-svn, it'd be a shame not to make use of it). I'd also have to wrap the svn binary in a script changing the umask to 002. For the same reason, I'd have to modify apachectl. Is that the really the smoothest way to go? It seems a little cluttered and nothing like the proverbial "Debian way". Do people here run SVN repositories? How did you go about those permissions? A slightly related thing I wondered about is where I should put the repository. Is there a conventional place, or should I pick whatever location I fancy?
