I'm afraid it depends on your access requirements. Seriously. Which access technology are you using? svn+ssh (which I tend to recommend), or Apache (using https://), or svn directorly (svn://) Start with that and we'll walk you through it. And please read the walkthroughs at http://svnbook.red-bean.com/, which are pretty good, so we can help based on *which* approach you want to use. > > It would be really neat if somebody had a sample repository on Linux in > /var/svn and could tar it up and get it to me.
