+* Subversion Server Notes
+ * -----------------------
+ *
+ * If you intend to run a server, a repository needs to be created using
+ * svnadmin (see man svnadmin) or the following command to create it in
+ * /var/svn:
+ *
+ *     emerge --config =dev-util/subversion-1.4.6
+ *
+ * Subversion has multiple server types, take your pick:
+ *
+ *  - svn over ssh:
+ *    1. Fix the repository permissions:
+ *         groupadd svnusers
+ *         chown -R root:svnusers /var/svn/repos/
+ *         chmod -R g-w /var/svn/repos
+ *         chmod -R g+rw /var/svn/repos/db
+ *         chmod -R g+rw /var/svn/repos/locks
+ *    2. create an svnserve wrapper in /usr/local/bin to set the umask you
+ *       want, for example:
+ *          #!/bin/bash
+ *          . /etc/conf.d/svnserve
+ *          umask 002
+ *          exec /usr/bin/svnserve ${SVNSERVE_OPTS} "$@"
+ *
+ *  - http-based server:
+ *    1. edit /etc/conf.d/apache2 to include both "-D DAV" and "-D SVN"
+ *    2. create an htpasswd file:
+ *       htpasswd2 -m -c /var/svn/conf/svnusers USERNAME
+ *
+ * If you intend to use svn-hot-backup, you can specify the number of
+ * backups to keep per repository by specifying an environment variable.
+ * If you want to keep e.g. 2 backups, do the following:
+ * echo '# hot-backup: Keep that many repository backups around' > /etc/env.d/80subversion
+ * echo 'SVN_HOTBACKUP_NUM_BACKUPS=2' >> /etc/env.d/80subversion
