Hello Thomas! Welcome to FSVS.

Thank you for the hint. > Point #1 in that description raises a question... and maybe this is a > foolish question. How well does that play with SELinux (i.e. CentOS5) > in enforcing mode? (Yes, I need to read up on exactly how SELinux does > it's magic, it's still a black box for me that is *mostly* just working.) Well, with "mode" I meant the 07777 bits ... These should be restored. Although I have to admit I never tested with SELinux - I don't really know what it does, like you. And regarding #3: I'd use the same repository for all similar clients. Just because for a new machine you simply do a "svn cp URL/machine1 URL/machine2", change a few files (name, IP address) and go! Without having to copy some big amount of data. Furthermore you can do something like "svn diff URL/machine1 URL/machine2" - which is not as easy with separated repositories. And as soon as issue 2286 is done in subversion (http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2286) it's even more appealing to keep all machines in a single store. > It seems like it would be better to use separate repositories > (along with individual SSH keys for each client machine). You can use individual keys per machine - you just have a bigger authorized_keys. And the rights per-machine can be restricted on a svnserver-base too, IIRC. HTH. Please do not hesitate to bring more feedback! Regards, Phil -- Versioning your /etc, /home or even your whole installation?
