Are you saying that network access via subversion is no more secure than
CVS pserver? Can you point me at info about this? (I'm not arguing with
you, I'm just surprised, as I thought one of the goals of svn was better
c/s than CVS.)
Or are we talking about different things? My point was that it seemed
generally agreed that read/write pserver access was basically equivalent
to giving the user shell access to the server, and thus one is better
off using an SSH tunnel, because that way at least it's *only* the
authorized users. My assumption and understanding was that svn was
better (i.e. more restrictive) about this.
