Mapping svnrepository on linux server to a local drive on windows

Hi,
I have installed svn on my mediawiki server. I'm able to access the svn
repository through the browser.
However, what are the settings that are required to map a local drive to the
svn repository?
I have a linux server. How to map a local drive on windows OS the svn
repository( on the linux server) using the "map network drive" option.
I guess I have to set the svnrepository to share. I am not so sure how to do
this. Can anyone provide me with directions to achieve this?
Thanks
Sirisha

You generally don't need file access to the repository to work with
it. You should do a checkout (via http:, https: or svn: protocol).
Direct file access to network-based repositories is not recommended.

Why do you want direct file access to the repository?

This was a request from the project partners.
I understand it is not safe to give access to the repository to be able to
be mapped.
Instead, giving them a space on the server using Samba may fulfil their
need?

Is it possible to have a shared folder in the mediawiki folder and set this
as a network share folder, So that users can map this folder to a local
drive and copy the data which can also be referenced in the wiki pages?

Re: Mapping svnrepository on linux server to a local drive on windows [In reply to]

Thanks All for the responses.
I had created a shared folder and installed Samba. This is what the project
partners really wanted. I was confused with the statement when they asked me
how to map "svn" to a local drive.
Since I'm new to this wiki project.

Thanks,
Sirisha
