A Subversion repository can be accessed simultaneously by
clients running on the same machine on which the repository
resides using the file:// method. But the
typical Subversion setup involves a single server machine being
accessed from clients on computers all over the office—or,
perhaps, all over the world.
This chapter describes how to get your Subversion repository exposed outside its host machine for use by remote clients. We will cover Subversion's currently available server mechanisms, discussing the configuration and use of each. After reading this chapter, you should be able to decide which networking setup is right for your needs, as well as understand how to enable such a setup on your host computer.
