We switched from svn:// to http:// and didn't see any pref difference. Then again, I didn't benchmark it. That said, we don't do any path based authorization and that may be the difference.
I prefer edge mostly for the inclusion of the management console, the WebView, and the push button updates. But to each his own. Yes, it is entirely possible to just point Edge to existing repos and have it server them. That said, the answer to your question is yes, you can have mod_dav_svn and svnserver both serving the same repos. For svnserve to serve multiple, afaik, they need to all be rooted at the same location and you use the -d switch to specify that root location. > -----Original Message----- > From: Tom Malia [mailto:tomma...@ttdsinc.com] > Sent: Friday, February 07, 2014 4:18 PM > To: Bob Archer; users@subversion.apache.org > Subject: RE: Multiple SVN repos with single server? > > I'm the first to admit I'm no expert... so I would not be surprised or > offended > to find I was asking for something really stupic. > > My logic for supporting both protocols is, my understanding is that SVN > protocol can be substantially faster and I was planning to use this both as > the > preferred protocol for dedicated SVN Clients and for maintenance processes > like SVNSYNC and SVNRDUMP.
