Svn access auditing?

[Bo Berglund]

I have moved from CVS(nt) to Svn 1.9.7 for our company version
control.
In CVS(nt) we had set up the auditing system, which records repository
activity into an MSSQL database.
Now I am looking for how to implement this in the Svn case.
AFAICT I can do most of what is needed for auditing the *changes* in
the post-commit hook, so I see no real problems there.
But I cannot find any hook for getting information on users accessing
the server to view or download content.
Is there some way to audit non-commit activity in Svn, specifically
checkouts?

Yes, it's called "operational logging". See http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.serverconfig.httpd.html#svn.serverconfig.httpd.extra.logging

Thanks, I found a section on this in the pdf book for svn 1.7
(chapter 6, page 202 "Apache logging"
So now I just have to enable it without breaking Apache, I guess...

Using this operational log, I wrote a script that effectively gives you post-checkout and post-update hook scripts that you can write to do whatever you want:

I wrote this a long time ago and don't know if it still works.
