Finally seem to have gotten a stable design for our subversion server in place. Started to import my own scripts, setting properties on files, adding keywords to all my source files, and so on. I am now debating a way for setting and enforcing access control, if any is really needed. I already took a look at the hook templates and checked the subversion mailing list for useful tips and ready-to-use hooks, but instead I found Tigris' own Subversion Tools and Contrib section. This leads to many scripts and hooks, but my problem is that I don't have enough (svn admin) experience to decide which scripts are useful and which aren't. So instead, I'm blogging this here, hoping to return to it later on.
Just found a great tip to prevent timeouts of PuTTY sessions. I'm fine with timeouts by the host, but in our case the firewall kills sessions after 30 minutes of inactivity... When using PuTTY to ssh to your Linux/Unix servers, be sure to use the feature to send NULL packets to prevent a timeout. I've set it to once every 900 seconds, i.e. 15 minutes... See screenshot on the right.
