Actually, you don't have to use Apache unless you want WebDAV access (and then you can run Apache on another port just for Subversion). The model handles multiple transport methods; currently only local file, DAV, or a custom svn protocol exist. But, I suspect that when the database backends are available, they will use the native database transport method. It would even be fairly trivial to wrap SSPI around the svn protocol (it currently understands ssh encapsulation). Their idea, and I think that it is a viable one, is that the majority of mindshare will move to Subversion away from CVS, because it has _so_ many advantages. I don't want to minimize the effort you have spent making WinCVS a very fine solution. However, you are still limited by the RCS file format, so there is only so far that you can push the model. A complete refactoring has many advantages. John
