Trying to set up a local serverless SVN repository on Linux, I was initially stumped by the URL format, because of a typo in the quick-start guide. The https://subversion.apache.org/quick-start guide shows a file URL without a server name and just two initial slashes (Terminology: What is a repository):
Direct access (Unix-style): file://var/svn/repos/MyRepo/MyProject/tags/1.1.0 The URL should have three initial slashes: Direct access (Unix-style): file:///var/svn/repos/MyRepo/MyProject/tags/1.1.0 Two slashes don't work, at least not on svn 1.10.2 (r1835932) on Fedora 28 4.17.9-200.fc28.x86_64 Cheers, Steve [Not subscribed, CC appreciated]
