How can I determine the type of SVN repository I have?
berkeley-db, fsfs, svn
Solution
If you're using a modern version of Subversion, the default is FSFS and has been for quite some time. Looking at `db/fs-type` is a reliable method of determining what you have already set up.
Problem
How can I determine the type of file system that is used by a given SVN repository? I want to create a new repository with svnadmin but want to make sure I am creating my new repository with consistent settings to other repositories already on the server. I dont want to setup a berkley db repository if all the others are FSFS on the system. Can I reliably just look in /repositoryname/db/fs-type ?
