I have setup a repository location on our Apache server at '/repos' with the following:
<Location "/repos">
DAV svn
SVNParentPath /path/to/repos
SVNListParentPath on
I did this so that I could simply create new repositories and have them immediately available
without having to create new Apache conf files and restarting the daemon. This setup produces
repos with URLs like: http://svn.domain.dom/repos/reponame
Sometimes, however, we have need to give external vendors access to a repository or a specific
branch of a repository. Since I don't want them to have access to any of the other repos or
even to the list of repositories itself, I've been creating additional Apache conf files specifying
a different location for the same repository:
<Location /reponame>
DAV svn
SVNPath /path/to/repos/reponame
While this works, it produces continuous Apache errors that fill the log and, if unchecked,
the drive. The error is:
[Tue Apr 09 14:30:50 2013] [error] A subtree cannot specify a different DAV provider than
its parent.
I believe this is related to using "SVNParentPath" for the location in one place and "SVNPath"
in another. Is this correct? Or is it the re-specifying of "DAV svn"? Either way, if I remove
the two SVN lines from the vendor workaround conf file, SVN stops working.
How can I fix this?
