The configuration files all share the same syntax, but you +should examine a particular file to learn what configuration +directives are valid for that file. + +The syntax is standard INI format: + + - Empty lines, and lines starting with '#', are ignored. + The first significant line in a file must be a section header. + + - A section starts with a section header, which must start in + the first column: + + [section-name] + + - An option, which must always appear within a section, is a pair + (name, value). There are two valid forms for defining an + option, both of which must start in the first column: + + name: value + name = value + + Whitespace around the separator (:, =) is optional. + + - Section and option names are case-insensitive, but case is + preserved. + + - An option's value may be broken into several lines. The value + continuation lines must start with at least one whitespace. + Trailing whitespace in the previous line, the newline character + and the leading whitespace in the continuation line is compressed + into a single space character. + + - All leading and trailing whitespace around a value is trimmed, + but the whitespace within a value is preserved, with the + exception of whitespace around line continuations, as + described above. + + - When a value is a boolean, any of the following strings are + recognised as truth values (case does not matter): + + true false + yes no + on off + 1 0 + + - When a value is a list, it is comma-separated. Again, the + whitespace around each element of the list is trimmed. + + - Option values may be expanded within a value by enclosing the + option name in parentheses, preceded by a percent sign and + followed by an 's': + + %(name)s + + The expansion is performed recursively and on demand, during + svn_option_get. The name is first searched for in the same + section, then in the special [DEFAULT] section. If the name + is not found, the whole '%(name)s' placeholder is left + unchanged. + + Any modifications to the configuration data invalidate all + previously expanded values, so that the next svn_option_get + will take the modifications into account. + +The syntax of the configuration files is a subset of the one used by +Python's ConfigParser module; see + + http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-ConfigParser.html + +Configuration data in the Windows registry +========================================== + +On Windows, configuration data may also be stored in the registry. The +functions svn_config_read and svn_config_merge will read from the +registry when passed file names of the form: + + REGISTRY:<hive>/path/to/config-key + +The REGISTRY: prefix must be in upper case. The <hive> part must be +one of: + + HKLM for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE + HKCU for HKEY_CURRENT_USER + +The values in config-key represent the options in the [DEFAULT] section. +The keys below config-key represent other sections, and their values +represent the options. Only values of type REG_SZ whose name doesn't +start with a '#' will be used; other values, as well as the keys' +default values, will be ignored. + + +File locations +============== + +Typically, Subversion uses two config directories, one for site-wide +configuration, + + Unix: + /etc/subversion/servers + /etc/subversion/config + /etc/subversion/hairstyles + Windows: + %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Subversion\servers + %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Subversion\config + %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Subversion\hairstyles + REGISTRY:HKLM\Software\Tigris.org\Subversion\Servers + REGISTRY:HKLM\Software\Tigris.org\Subversion\Config + REGISTRY:HKLM\Software\Tigris.org\Subversion\Hairstyles + +and one for per-user configuration: + + Unix: + ~/.subversion/servers + ~/.subversion/config + ~/.subversion/hairstyles + Windows: + %APPDATA%\Subversion\servers + %APPDATA%\Subversion\config + %APPDATA%\Subversion\hairstyles + REGISTRY:HKCU\Software\Tigris.org\Subversion\Servers + REGISTRY:HKCU\Software\Tigris.org\Subversion\Config + REGISTRY:HKCU\Software\Tigris.org\Subversion\Hairstyles + |
