Editing Apache Subversion (section)

====Berkeley DB (deprecated)====
The original development of Subversion used the [[Berkeley DB]] package.
Subversion has some limitations with Berkeley DB usage when a program that accesses the database crashes or terminates forcibly. No data loss or corruption occurs, but the repository remains offline while Berkeley DB replays the journal and cleans up any outstanding locks. The safest way to use Subversion with a Berkeley DB repository involves a single server-process running as one user (instead of through a shared filesystem).<ref name="backend">
