Subversion’s Operational Logging: What It Is, and What It Ain’t

Subversion’s operational logging feature was introduced in Subversion 1.3 as a way to allow mod_dav_svn to record one-line summaries of the high-level Subversion operations that it serviced. Over the past few years, I’ve witnessed no small amount of confusion about what this feature really does and does not provide. The primary cause of the confusion often boils down to some simple misunderstandings about how the feature accommodates Subversion’s WebDAV interactions, and the limitations of its design. I hope to clarify some of that in this post.
