<p>The Subversion repository is the central storehouse of all
your versioned data. As such, it becomes an obvious candidate for
all the love and attention an administrator can offer. While the
repository is generally a low-maintenance item, it is important to
understand how to properly configure and care for it so that
potential problems are avoided, and so actual problems are safely
resolved.</p>
<p>In this chapter, we'll discuss how to create and configure a
Subversion repository. We'll also talk about repository
maintenance, providing examples of how and when to use various
related tools provided with Subversion. We'll address some common
questions and mistakes and give some suggestions on how to arrange
the data in the repository.</p>
<p>If you plan to access a Subversion repository only in the role
of a user whose data is under version control (i.e., via a
Subversion client), you can skip this chapter altogether.
However, if you are, or wish to become, a Subversion repository
administrator,<sup>[<a id="idp14120032" href="#ftn.idp14120032" class="footnote">48</a>]</sup> this chapter is for you.</p>

<div class="footnote">
<p><sup>[<a id="ftn.idp14120032" href="#idp14120032" class="para">48</a>] </sup>This may sound really prestigious
and lofty, but we're just talking about anyone who is interested
in that mysterious realm beyond the working copy where everyone's
data hangs out.</p>
