NAME
       svnserve.conf - Repository configuration file for svnserve

SYNOPSIS
       repository-path/conf/svnserve.conf

DESCRIPTION
       svnserve.conf controls the behavior of the svnserve daemon on a per-repository basis.  It is located in the conf subdirectory of the repos-
       itory.

       The overall structure of the file is the same as the structure of Subversion user configuration files.  At  the	top  level  are  sections,
       which are specified by words in square brackets; inside each section are variable definitions of the form "variable = value".  Lines begin-
       ning with '#' are ignored.  svnserve.conf currently uses only one section named "general", and supports the following variables:

       anon-access = none|read|write
	    Determines the access level for unauthenticated users.  write access allows all repository operations.  read access allows all  opera-
	    tions except committing and changing revision properties.  none access allows no access.  The default level is read.

       auth-access = none|read|write
	    Determines the access level for authenticated users, using the same access levels as above.  The default level is write.

       password-db = filename
	    Sets  the  location  of the password database.  filename may be relative to the repository conf directory.	There is no default value.
	    The password database has the same overall format as this file.  It uses only one section "users"; each variable within the section is
	    a username, and each value is a password.

       realm = realm-name
	    Sets  the  authentication  realm  of  the  repository.  If two repositories have the same password database, they should have the same
	    realm, and vice versa; this association allows clients to use a single cached password for several repositories.   The  default  realm
	    value is the repository's uuid.

EXAMPLE
       The  following example svnserve.conf allows read access for authenticated users, no access for anonymous users, points to a passwd database
       in the same directory, and defines a realm name.

	[general]
	anon-access = none
	auth-access = read
	password-db = passwd
	realm = My First Repository

       The file "passwd" would look like:

	[users]
	joeuser = joepassword
	jayrandom = randomjay
