--listen-host=host

Listen on the interface specified by host, which may be either a hostname or

an IP address.

--listen-once, -X

Accept one connection on the svn port, serve it, and exit. This option is

mainly useful for debugging.

--listen-port=port

Listen on port when run in daemon mode.

--root=root, -r=root

Set the virtual root for repositories served by svnserve to root. The pathname

in URLs provided by the client are interpreted relative to this root and are not

allowed to escape this root.

--threads, -T

When running in daemon mode, spawn a thread instead of a process for each

connection. The svnserve process still backgrounds itself at startup time.

--tunnel, -t

Run in tunnel mode, which is just like the inetd mode of operation (serve one

connection over standard input/standard output), except that the connection

is considered to be pre-authenticated with the username of the current UID.

This flag is selected by the client when running over a tunnelling agent such

as ssh.
