The "ServerDictatedConfiguration" page has been changed by pburba: http://wiki.apache.org/subversion/ServerDictatedConfiguration?action=diff&rev1=36&rev2=37 Comment: Add ToC == Design: Server-Dictated Configuration == + + <<TableOfContents>> + Many software development shops of non-trivial size desire to have (and to the extent possible, to enforce) a uniform configuration environment among the various clients which commit to their repositories. Although these shops may have some ability to control the environment on the client machines (dictating software versions, etc), expecting humans to consistently set and maintain various runtime configuration parameters in accordance with corporate policy and on every repository-accessing client computer is both error-prone and unscalable. Subversion already provides the means of enforcing much (but not all) of this configuration through the hook script mechanism, but at best this can only punish non-compliant client behavior and clumsily recommend configuration changes (which, again, a human must implement on their client computer). Allowing the administrator to store a default configuration on the server, which is automatically pushed to and honored by (well-behaved) clients, would save both time and frustration.
