Problems with SVN checkout

UNIX for Beginners Q & A
1

I am trying to figure out why, when I checkout this repository, I am not receiving a .svn folder. I have two machines. On one machine if I checkout the repository it checks out with a .svn folder and on the other machine I do the same and it: requires a password and does not give me a .svn folder. What is the problem here?

I have had IT setup both DNS records and DHCP reservations in the firewall for the machine. I confirmed that the IP address they gave me is the one my machine is using. I have already setup an ssh keypair for this new machine.

Alright I figured this out. I was storing the keys in a custom directory instead of the .ssh file where they are supposed to be.

For SVN that utilizes the svnserve executable, it is possible to enable server-side logging by passing the

--log-file

switch when starting the daemon, e.g.:

# svnserve -d -r /svn --log-file=/var/log/svnserve.log

What have you configured on both sides to set up SVN logging?
