Making a new SVN repo on shimako

Procedure

1. open httpd.conf, go to end of file

2. import the template fragment in vim with :r svnpath_template

3. Do the substitution
4. restart apache
5. update the svnauth DB with users/groups

6. as root, svnadmin create /vaw/www/svn/REPONAME

7. chown -R apache.apache /var/www/svn/REPONAME

8. you should now see rev0 at https://sachiko.meidokon.net/REPONAME/

9. if syncing from another repo, you need to make a pre-revprop-change hook on sachiko
   1. create pre-revprop-change in the hooks dir, make it executable, then neuter it.
   2. chown it to apache:apache

   3. from the src, run svnsync initialize https://sachiko.meidokon.net/REPONAME/ file:///path/to/src/repo

   4. sync the repo with svnsync synchronize https://sachiko.meidokon.net/REPONAME/

   5. remove the pre-revprop-change hook script
10. I guess you're set now
