It wasn't clear that you were talking about running it under Apache. Subversion server is a thing unto itself that doesn't require any Apache server, according to what I found. Maybe it can be SSL secured under Apache, I didn't google that angle. But you can:
http://www.google.com/search?q=subversion+apache+ssl As a general rule, unless it's a public website, a mail server, or locked down (no uploads) ftp server, or restricted to specific static client IPs, it should wrapped in some kind of encryption.

The subversion Server is what is running on my server that he wants access to. He runs the client on his laptop. Thanks. I was hoping since it ran Apache it might actually do some decent security! No I don't want a hole in my network, why do I think I am researching this? ;) What kinda question is that? From: Carl Houseman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2008 1:11 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: SVN Remote Access 2 minutes of googling tells me it's not secure. It's just another TCP server that responds on a particular port. The question is, do you want a potential security hole into your network? Can you certify and maintain the security of the machine running the Subversion server? Put a VPN around it.

Has anybody set this up? Does it use HTTPS and is it secure, or should SSH/VPN be put in place? I'm have a lot to learn when it comes to SVN...
