These need to be extracted from the [/path/to/repo]/hooks directory on the server. If you don't have access to the server yourself (and the hosting provider doesn't have a web interface to manage the hook scripts) you need to ask them to copy the scripts manually. (If your hosing provider choose to pack the complete repository folder the hooks are of course included). > We will use Apache httpd and basic authentication for committing to > repository, as in done currently > The authentication (login) and authorization (permissions) are not included in the dump file either.

In this case you should not need to do anything. If you change some part of the URL (either new hostname, adding SSL/TLS or the path to the repositories) you need to run svn relocate [new_url] in each working copy. > I've read through the svnbook, and the above seems plausible. > > I am just wondering if anyone has some guidance and suggestions, since > we are making a significant jump to newer version of SVN. > There should be no major difference. > > Thanks for your help > > Kind regards, Daniel
