This is a quick HOWTO log from setting up SubVersion, Apache WebDAV, and auto versioning.

Download Apache from http://www.apache.org.
Download SubVersion from http://subversion.tigris.org.

Assuming Windows 2000 with Apache 2.0.54 + SubVersion 1.4.0.

Install Apache, e. g. in "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\".
Unpack svn, e. g. in "C:\Program Files\Subversion\".
Chose repository server location, e. g. in "C:\dat\svn\".

Documentation for svnserve:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch06s03.html

Start svn server:

svnserve -d -r C:\dat\svn

Create repository:

mkdir C:\dat\svn
svnadmin create C:\dat\svn

Check:

svn status

Setup shell:

set SVN_EDITOR=notepad

Think of project names (e. g. www, doc, ods) as top-level directories.
Beneath, create directories for trunk, tags, branches.

Tag files about to be versioned with these keywords in the headers:

$Date$
$Revision$
$Author$
$URL$

Alternatively, use $Id$.

For fixed width (e. g. in binary office documents), use $Date::   $ syntax.

Test importing files from current directory into the repository -- will add current directory to the repository root:

svn import . svn://127.0.0.1

Works only if user authentication has not been setup. Otherwise:

cd .../projectname
svn --username klaus --password secret import . svn://127.0.0.1/projectname/trunk

This imports the current directory at the specified point in the repository.

Create .svn association in respective directories:

svn --username klaus --password secret checkout projectname/trunk

Modify an existent file and test via an svn commit:

notepad file.txt
svn commit

Bulk set properties via:

svn propset svn:keywords "Date Revision Author URL"

Enforce access restrictions (klaus / secret):

notepad C:\dat\svn\conf\svnserve.conf

[general]
anon-access = none
auth-access = write
password-db = passwd
authz-db = authz
realm = Klaus' Repository

notepad authz

[groups]
www.k-hi.net = klaus

[/]
klaus = rw
* =

[repository:/]
klaus = rw
* =

[/www]
klaus = rw
* =

todo: add Carl-Martin, Christian, Renate, ...

notepad C:\dat\svn\conf\passwd

[users]
klaus = secret

Again, test import with username / password protection:

cd .../projectname
svn import --username klaus --password secret . svn://127.0.0.1/projectname/trunk

(--no-auth-cache would prevent caching the credentials locally.)

svn log --username klaus --password secret svn://127.0.0.1
svn list --username klaus --password secret svn://127.0.0.1

-- then do 1st checkout

svn checkout --username klaus --password secret svn://127.0.0.1/projectname/trunk

dir /a

This yields a hidden .svn directory!

Set up the shared object files with Apache:

copy "c:\Program Files\Subversion\bin\*.so" "c:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\modules\*.*"

mod_authz_svn.so
mod_dav_svn.so

Modify httpd.conf:

LoadModule dav_svn_module mod_dav_svn.so
LoadModule authz_svn_module mod_authz_svn.so

Or point over to SubVersion:

LoadModule dav_svn_module "C:/Program Files/Subversion/bin/mod_dav_svn.so"
LoadModule authz_svn_module "C:/Program Files/Subversion/bin/mod_authz_svn.so"

tail -f httpd-access.log

"C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\bin\htpasswd.exe" -c htpasswd klaus

httpd.conf:
<VirtualHost _default_:81>
        ServerAdmin blub@blubbel.nospam.com
        DocumentRoot "C:/dat/www/blubbel.com/pub"
        ErrorLog logs/blubbel.com-error.log
        TransferLog logs/blubbel.com-access.log

        RewriteEngine on

        <Location /svn>
                Dav svn
                AuthType Basic
                AuthName "Auth Required"
                AuthUserFile "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\conf\htpasswd"
                Require valid-user
                SVNPath /dat/svn
                SVNAutoversioning on
                AuthzSVNAccessFile /dat/svn/conf/authz
        </Location>
</VirtualHost>

http://192.168.1.103:81/svn/
(klaus / secret)

For example:

P:\>"C:\Program Files\Subversion\bin\svn" log svn://127.0.0.1

Autoversioning commit:  a non-deltaV client made a change to
/defnw/r.txt

And a bit of brainstorming:

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.2/svn.webdav.clients.html#svn.webdav.clients.tbl-1

http://www.ics.uci.edu/~webdav/
"DAV Explorer is a WebDAV, DeltaV and ACL client application that uses the WebDAV, DeltaV and ACL protocols ..."

java5 -jar DAVExplorer.jar

Get Version Tree        HTTP 501error
>> roll own cgi-bin that invokes svn client?

Guessing and rewriting:

GET /svn/defnw/webApplication/test.jsp@r1 HTTP/1.1
Host: 127.0.0.1:81
Connection: TE
TE: trailers, deflate, gzip, compress

Does not work!
