+This directory holds run-time configuration information for Subversion
+clients. The configuration files all share the same syntax, but you
+should examine a particular file to learn what configuration
+directives are valid for that file.
+
+The syntax is standard INI format:
+
+ - Empty lines, and lines starting with '#', are ignored.
+ The first significant line in a file must be a section header.
+
+ - A section starts with a section header, which must start in
+ the first column:
+
+ [section-name]
+
+ - An option, which must always appear within a section, is a pair
+ (name, value). There are two valid forms for defining an
+ option, both of which must start in the first column:
+
+ name: value
+ name = value
+
+ Whitespace around the separator (:, =) is optional.
+
+ - Section and option names are case-insensitive, but case is
+ preserved.
+
+ - An option's value may be broken into several lines. The value
+ continuation lines must start with at least one whitespace.
+ Trailing whitespace in the previous line, the newline character
+ and the leading whitespace in the continuation line is compressed
+ into a single space character.
+
+ - All leading and trailing whitespace around a value is trimmed,
+ but the whitespace within a value is preserved, with the
+ exception of whitespace around line continuations, as
+ described above.
+
+ - When a value is a boolean, any of the following strings are
+ recognised as truth values (case does not matter):
+
+ true false
+ yes no
+ on off
+ 1 0
+
+ - When a value is a list, it is comma-separated. Again, the
+ whitespace around each element of the list is trimmed.
+
+ - Option values may be expanded within a value by enclosing the
+ option name in parentheses, preceded by a percent sign and
+ followed by an 's':
+
+ %(name)s
+
+ The expansion is performed recursively and on demand, during
+ svn_option_get. The name is first searched for in the same
+ section, then in the special [DEFAULT] section. If the name
+ is not found, the whole '%(name)s' placeholder is left
+ unchanged.
+
+ Any modifications to the configuration data invalidate all
+ previously expanded values, so that the next svn_option_get
+ will take the modifications into account.
+
+The syntax of the configuration files is a subset of the one used by
+Python's ConfigParser module; see
+
+ http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-ConfigParser.html
+
+Configuration data in the Windows registry
+==========================================
+
+On Windows, configuration data may also be stored in the registry. The
+functions svn_config_read and svn_config_merge will read from the
+registry when passed file names of the form:
+
+ REGISTRY:<hive>/path/to/config-key
+
+The REGISTRY: prefix must be in upper case. The <hive> part must be
+one of:
+
+ HKLM for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
+ HKCU for HKEY_CURRENT_USER
+
+The values in config-key represent the options in the [DEFAULT] section.
+The keys below config-key represent other sections, and their values
+represent the options. Only values of type REG_SZ whose name doesn't
+start with a '#' will be used; other values, as well as the keys'
+default values, will be ignored.
+
+
+File locations
+==============
+
+Typically, Subversion uses two config directories, one for site-wide
+configuration,
+
+ Unix:
+ /etc/subversion/servers
+ /etc/subversion/config
+ /etc/subversion/hairstyles
+ Windows:
+ %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Subversion\servers
+ %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Subversion\config
+ %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Subversion\hairstyles
+ REGISTRY:HKLM\Software\Tigris.org\Subversion\Servers
+ REGISTRY:HKLM\Software\Tigris.org\Subversion\Config
+ REGISTRY:HKLM\Software\Tigris.org\Subversion\Hairstyles
+
+and one for per-user configuration:
+
+ Unix:
+ ~/.subversion/servers
+ ~/.subversion/config
+ ~/.subversion/hairstyles
+ Windows:
+ %APPDATA%\Subversion\servers
+ %APPDATA%\Subversion\config
+ %APPDATA%\Subversion\hairstyles
+ REGISTRY:HKCU\Software\Tigris.org\Subversion\Servers
+ REGISTRY:HKCU\Software\Tigris.org\Subversion\Config
+ REGISTRY:HKCU\Software\Tigris.org\Subversion\Hairstyles
