It would be great if setting up repository permissions for
libapache2-svn was documented in README.Debian.

For the most part, installing libapache2-svn went very smoothly, however
the SVN book doesn't say how to configure SVN repository permissions to
work with Apache. It simply says administrators will all have different
ways of and reasons for setting it up.

I searched all the package documentation, looking for the package
maintainer's advice for getting this working, without success.

Finally I simply created a repository as the Apache user (www-data).
This worked, but a little documentation would be great. Thanks!

Good idea.  I'll try and write up something for the next upload.

Yeah, that's probably the best option.  It would be possible to
restrict the permissions a little bit from there, but not particularly
useful (the ability to commit to a local repository is enough to do
almost arbitrary damage to it).

Thanks,
Peter
