Thanks Bob. I installed subversion edge but I don't know if it can help me or I just can't figure it out. I can't get it to find our repositories. It won't let me change the IP address which makes me think that it doesn't work with non-local repositories. I searched the forums (developer and admin) with the text "existing repositories" and found one post that didn't match my question but it didn't matter anyway because the post wasn't answered itself.
I was thinking about writing an html or java wrapper because command line arguments are a thing of the past, forget about looking to the future. Then I thought that edge does this. If it doesn't then is there any thing else out there that may do this? For example I have to set the svn:ignore property on 44 modules, and that is only one project. We have other projects. Typing or editing the same command 44 times is a bit archaic. It would be nice to type it once and click on the modules that it applies to. I may write this myself because it would be quicker to write a small program than type or edit the same thing over and over again and hope I don't miss one.

Well, strictly not true. If you have access to remote share you can create the repository on another machine. > Read the book on repository creation: > http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.reposadmin.create.html > > svnadmin is a server side utility to create a repository within the local > filesystem. > John, if you use Subversion Edge it will allow you to create repos using the Web Admin UI as well.
