How do you setup a shared Working Copy in Subversion

Question

I still very new using Subversion.

Is it possible to have a working copy on a network available share (c:\\svn\\projects\\website) that everyone (in this case 3 of use)

Answer 1

I know this is an old thread, but I found it because I'm trying to do the same thing.

I don't think this problem can be solved with subversion, though I've tried on multiple occasions and I think the need is completely legitimate.

The use case that comes up repeatedly for us is complicated configuration files that are maintained outside of an application.

A good example might be apache httpd.conf files. They're complicated and we want to track changes to the files. We don't want everyone to use "root" because then we can't track who did what.

Mercurial can do this:
