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
       repository.

       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
       beginning 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
            operations 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.

       authz-db = path
            The authz-db option controls the location of the authorization
            rules for path-based access control.  path may be relative to the
            repository conf directory.  path may be a repository relative URL
            (^/) or absolute file:// URL to a text file in a Subversion
            repository.  There is no default value.  If you don't specify an
            authz-db, no path-based access control is done.

       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
