====== Subversion_Repository_Creation ======

Don't forget to change "newuser" and "newgroup" in the below shell script to the desired user & group for the created repository.  The desired user is likely to be Apache's user ("nobody", "www-data", etc.), while the group can be whatever might be helpful in your environment.

The last line of this script just reminds me to also edit the Apache and ViewVC configuration files.

<source lang="bash">#!/bin/bash

if [[|-z "$1" ]]; then
    echo "You must pass the name of a new repository to this script."
    exit
fi

svnadmin create "$1"

chown -R newuser:newgroup "$1"

find "$1" -type d -exec chmod 770 {} \;
find "$1" -type d -exec chmod g+s {} \;

find "$1" -type f -exec chmod 660 {} \;

echo "Done!"
echo "Now don't forget to edit the files symlinked in /home/subversion/apache-conf/!"</source>
