经常有新手配置基于svnserve的subversion服务器后,在客户端访问subversion版本库时出现这个错误:svnserve.conf:12: Option expected为什么会出现这个错误呢,就是因为subversion读取配置文件svnserve.conf时,无法识别有前置空格的配置文件,如### This file controls the configuration of the svnserve daemon, if you### use it to allow access to this repository. (If you only allow### access through http: and/or file: URLs, then this file is### irrelevant.)### Visit http://subversion.tigris.org/ for more information.[general]### These options control access to the repository for unauthenticated### and authenticated users. Valid values are "write", "read",### and "none". The sample settings below are the defaults.anon-access = read auth-access = write像上面的配置文件中,anon-access是顶行的,没问题,而auth-access就存在前置空格,会导致这个错误。要避免出现这个错误,应该在去掉这些行前的#时,也要顺手去掉前面的空格,这一点,在郑新星老早的文章《Subversion之路--实现精细的目录访问权限控制》就提到过。
