Looking at the spec there is $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS, a colon separated list, that should fall back to /etc/xdg if $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS is not set. Then there is $XDG_CONFIG_HOME that should fall back to $HOME/.config if not set. So the system locations are: - $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/subversion or /etc/xdg/subversion - /etc/subversion The user locations are: - $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/subversion or $HOME/.config/subversion - $HOME/.subversion And the command-line is: - --config-dir if set I assume the existing system/user/command-line rules remain unchanged. What would change is how we locate the system and user dirs. I suppose we look for the XDG version first, and if not found fall back on the current location. -- Philip
