Posted by Roger Keays, 20 August 2008, 2:05 AM Accessing your subversion repo via ssh is pretty nifty because you don't have to set up a special server or auth methods. The only problem is that out of the box, you are going to have to use the full path to your subversion root in the URLs. i.e. something like:
svn+ssh://svn.example.com/var/local/subversion/myproject
If you prefer to use a URL something like
svn+ssh://svn.example.com/myproject
you need to pass the -r option to svnserve when it is executed on the server. To do this, I usually replace the svnserve binary with a shell script that wraps the original program:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/svnserve-real -r /var/local/subversion $*
Where svnserve-real is the orginal binary. The only problem with this method is that 'apt-get upgrade' likes to reinstall the binary. Perhaps somebody else has a better trick?

Posted by Roger Keays, 16 August 2008, 3:20 AM Since having become accustomed to thinking of time as a fourth space dimension (albeit one that it is difficult to traverse), I've come across another problem. What is aging? Can quantum physics answer this question? Could it simply be series of accumulating indeterministic quantum events knocking out your cells and causing gradual failure?
Clearly, under this definition, it doesn't make sense to quote your age in years, as this only measures the distance between two points in space. It would be somewhat like answering the question "How old are you?" with "63 Ninth Avenue". So, from now on I'm answering that question with reference to the state of my body's quantum decay. Given my life plan, that puts me at 14% old.
Hmmm... now I understand why I don't celebrate my birthdays and still behave like a 21 year old.... How interesting, and what a perfect excuse!
