How to configure Apache + SVN webDAV directory

I have a subversion server working with Apache mod_dav_svn and it works well, but being able to view via HTML is a bit spartan. Is there any way to configure it at all?

Here I would like to do two things:

  • separate directories from files so that all directories are at the top. Now everything is in alphabetical order. (in the picture above there are all directories preceding the files in alphabetical order, but believe me, this is not an ordinary case)

  • List the main statistics of the file (file size, modification time, latest updated version, etc.)

Is it possible to do this with mod_dav_svn ?

WebSvn seems like this might help you. I tried trac and it is very smooth, but I found it complicated and seems redundant for what you are looking for, imo.

In installing Subversion for Vanillin, the web interface is very simple in design. (Remember that the HTTP interface is for SVN clients, not for people).

You can customize the display somewhat through the SVNIndexXSLT directive . (This is a good place to start ).

If you need something richer (with log and diff functions), you will need to install a special front end. WebSVN and ViewVC are very popular. There is also Trac , but it is a higher level tool.

List of other repo viewing tools.

Just FYI, we use WebSVN for our repo instance. It took some effort to start it up and run, but once it is configured, you can leave it alone.

Not out of the box, that is, without changing the source code. You might be interested in tools like ViewSVN or the more complex trac or redmine .
