Hiding path to repository in svn+ssh link

[thechriskelley]

Greetings,

I'm fairly new to administrating repositories, and currently setting up a SVN repository on Mac OS X 10.6 Server that is located locally at /Library/Subversion/RepoName. To access the repository "RepoName" from another machine, I was told to use:

svn+ssh://user:pass@host/Library/Subversion/RepoName

Obviously the first half looks okay, but I'd rather not reveal the local path to the repository to the public. Is there a way to configure svn to add the "/Library/Subversion" prefix to any path given, so that the uri would look like this?

svn+ssh://user@host/RepoName


Thanks for any help!
Chris

Not sure of MAC (but should be similar), i have done it on Solaris in following way

Rename file “/svn/install/location/svnserve” to “svnserve.bin”
Create a text file “svnserve” in same location
Add following line to the file
exec /svn/install/location/svnserve.bin -r /repository/location "$@"

Save & Exit
Make svnserve an executable file using command:
chmod 555 /svn/install/location/svnserve

Now the URL is
svn+ssh://server_name/repository_name

As most of my users are accessing reps from Windows boxes, I ask them to add their user ID and password in TortoiseSVN settings--> Network --> SSH client so that they dont need to provide it on every interaction in following manner
C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\TortoisePlink.exe -l user_id -pw password
