===Repository access===
{{Main| Comparison of Subversion clients}}
Access to Subversion repositories can take place by:

# Local filesystem or network filesystem,<ref>[[Berkeley DB]] relies on file locking and thus should not be used on (network) filesystems which do not implement them</ref> accessed by client directly. This mode uses the {{mono|file:///path}} access scheme.
# [[WebDAV]]/Delta-V (over http or https) using the {{mono|mod_dav_svn}} module for [[Apache HTTP Server|Apache 2]]. This mode uses the {{mono|<nowiki>http://host/path</nowiki>}} access scheme or {{mono|<nowiki>https://host/path</nowiki>}} for secure connections using ssl.
# Custom "svn" protocol (default [[List of TCP and UDP port numbers|port]] 3690), using plain text or over [[TCP/IP]]. This mode uses either the {{mono|<nowiki>svn://host/path</nowiki>}} access scheme for unencrypted transport or {{mono|<nowiki>svn+ssh://host/path</nowiki>}} scheme for tunneling over ssh.

All three means can access both FSFS and Berkeley DB repositories.

Any 1.x version of a client can work with any 1.x server. Newer clients and servers have additional features and performance capabilities, but have fallback support for older clients/servers.<ref>[https://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.5.html SVN 1.5 release notes]</ref>
