3.3. Access Methods


Subversion repositories can be accessed (checked out) through many different methods --on local disk, or through various network protocols. A repository location, however, is always a URL. The table describes how different URL schemes map to the available access methods.


Table 17.1. Access Methods


Schema

Access Method

file://

direct repository access (on local disk)

http://

Access via WebDAV protocol to Subversion-aware Apache2 web server

https://

Same as http://, but with SSL encryption

svn://

Access via custom protocol to an svnserve server

svn+ssh://

Same as svn://, but through an SSH tunnel


In this section, we will see how to configure Subversion for all these access methods. Here, we cover the basics. For more advanced usage details, refer to the svn book3.
