Hi all,

This is a heads-up that affects anyone accessing the SVN repositories  
using the svn:// protocol (so it does not affect anyone accessing SVN  
over HTTP, or svn+ssh):

So far the svn service was run through xinetd. We had recurring  
problems where either during really busy times or when too many svn  
service processes hung for unknown reasons xinetd would refuse to  
start more of them. This would lead to strange errors for people  
accessing the service. To hopefully solve that problem, and maybe  
solve the "hanging process" issues as well, I have switched to using  
the svnserve process in daemon mode instead of using it through xinetd.

If you do use the svn:// protocol (maybe directly, or indirectly  
through a svn:extrnals definition, or for replicating the repositories  
with "svnsync") and see any issues please contact me directly off-list.
