----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
 In "Setting up a Subversion Server"
 (http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/server/svnserver.html) in
 section 1 "Setup Users, Groups, and Permissions" the command to add the
 svn user to the group svntest is:

 usermod -G svntest svn

 which replaces svn user's current groups with group svntest. In my opinion
 it should be:

 usermod -G svntest -a svn

 which appends svntest to its groups. This change is "important" because
 the document is intended for multiple repositories so svn user shall be
 added to multiple groups.

 I have to say that i'm quite new to linux so i'm not sure 100% this is
 correct, but i have already lost my sudo privileges with this command :)

 a big thank you for your hard work it's very useful!
