There's this webhost SP which I liked a lot that said to me that they could add support for Subversion if I wanted. They just asked me to send an e-mail with everything I wanted and how I want it to work and such.
The only things I can remember is that I need support for Subversion and unlimited repositories.
What other details you guys think it's important I point out for a proper Subversion support?
not really SVN only, but I would also ask to set up an issue tracker and integrate it with svn (e.g., Trac is usually used for this kind of setup).
Your webhost SP may be tempted to create an image of an empty repository setup once, and then clone that whenever a new repository is required. This will result in repositories with the same UUID and can cause problems, e.g. with TortoiseSVN's log caching. The UUID must be unique.
To avoid this, make sure the repository is created (with
svnadmin create
) rather than cloned, or alternatively change the cloned UUID withsvnadmin setuuid
.You may want to ask your webhost SP to provide a commit mailing list for each repository.
