In Hudson job, you tell Hudson to archive any files in that directory.
The result is that the name of one of your archive files will contain

Don't worry about too many revisions. Subversion can easily handle

it's a lot easier to see what was changed and why.

When your development team gets bigger than a dozen people, you start
having people come and go all the time. That makes it difficult to
keep the httpd configuration up to date. It just becomes easier if
this becomes more automated

With LDAP, you won't have to touch the httpd configuration. A change
in the LDAP security will immediately be reflected in the Subversion

However, if this is a problem, it's more likely due to
incorrectly using your revision control system (unable to rebuild
