[TriLUG] Subversion setup question?

[Jason Faulkner]

You should be able to use:

svn+ssh//server/path/to/svn/repo

Your user must have the type of access you need for the repo (i.e., if
you are only reading, you need ro, if you are going to write, you need
rw).

That /should/ work. No special config required.

However, I highly reccomend libapache2-mod-svn for svn. It works stellar.
