> if you don't want to use svnserver, then all users will have to have access to the drive, and use direct commands ( svn co .. ) without a protocol. Thanks, I didn't realize that you could do this. I'm actually the only developer at my company, so it's OK for all users of SVN (ie, me!) to have write access. It would still be better for me to ordinarily not have write access, but I can live with it for now. The network drives are the only ones that are backed up regularly, so the repository cannot be stored on a local drive. What I've been most concerned about is non-developers wrecking the repository by mistake. (Recently, a business manager accidentally did a drag-and-drop of dozens of crucial widely-accessable company files into his own private directory where noone else could find them :-)). Anyway, it seems as though the ability to have a repository on a network drive is practically useless for svnserve, but is very useful for a server-less configuration. Thanks again -Don
