We currently have a subversion server at svn.company.com for internal (and occasionally external) use. Currently, the repositories are located at /svn/[project] via SVNParentPath. However, management wants to make them also available at just /[project]. I was able to get it seemingly working with some mod_rewrite directives:

#Don't redirect (internally, note the PT (passthrough)) any trac or admin pages RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/trac.*$ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/admin.*$ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/svn.*$ RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /svn/$1 [PT,NS,QSA]

This seems to work, but fails when checking out or performing any other actual SVN operations. My theory is that DAV reports its URL as /svn/[project], and the client aborts when this doesn't match its requested url of /[project].

How would you solve this?

  • Let me guess; a 301 in response to the PROPFIND? Commented May 27, 2011 at 18:23
  • Actually, no. A 500 in response to REPORT. The server complains "Unusable URI: it does not refer to this repository" when the client sends the XML entitty S:src-path as "svn.company.com/[project]/trunk" in the REPORT request. Ironically, the client is sending the to the svn.company.com/svn/[project]/!svn/vcc/default URI, so its all kind of confused! I think this problem is unsolvable without a more intelligent DAV implementation or a proxy application that can modify the requests themselves. Commented May 30, 2011 at 17:48

Could you not just use both things?

<Location "/"> ....setup for management SVNParentPath /path/to/repos </Location> <Location "/svn"> ...stuff for /svn/project SVNParentPath /path/to/repos </Location>

  • I don't believe so, because DAV svn at Location "/" will gobble all requests. Commented May 27, 2011 at 19:24
  • Believeing is not knowing, have you even tried? Commented May 29, 2011 at 1:49
  • I did. With <Location />, no other location directives are processed. Sorry. Commented May 30, 2011 at 17:22
