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?
