Hello, Just went through this (thank you) however I came across the issue where my FreeBSD box was just listening on tcp6. I'm using this internally on my network but without a tcp6 router this of course doesn't help. To make it work, I just modified my rc.conf to listen on host 0.0.0.0 (telling it to use tcp4). Also for anyone who wants it to start easily on boot, add this to your /etc/rc.conf (replacing the data dir, user, and group as necessary) svnserve_enable="YES" svnserve_flags="-d --listen-port=3690 --listen-host=0.0.0.0" svnserve_data="/home/svn/repository" svnserve_user="svn" svnserve_group="svn"
