svn-helper.conf - the configuration file for subversion-helper-scripts

svn-helper.confrepository project

The svn-helper.conf is the system-wide configuration file for the subversion-helper-scripts package. It's purpose it to abstract away some of the site-specific details of the uses of some typical subversion commands.

When reading configuration information, subversion-helper-scripts will first check the user's .svn-helperrc file. Any parameters not set there will be taken from the system-wide svn-helper.conf file.

REPOS_BASE=URL

The URL to the base repository path. If the repository is mounted locally, it will be of the form "file:///path/to/repos/dirs". If the remote server is accessed via HTTPS, it will be typically be of the form "https://server.host.name/svn". The user's ~/.subversion/servers file should contain any proxy server information as well as any repository server certificate files. Other protocols are also available (see subversion documentation).
