<p>If I use multiple repositories, all located under a single root folder, how can I set it up so that they will use a single master <code>svnconf</code>/<code>passwd</code> file for setup but still allow me to customize each if the need arises?</p>

<p>This is on Windows, but I guess the process would be similar on other systems.</p>

<p><strong>Update:</strong> I am using svnserve as a service.</p>

If you are using svnserve, then the
```
conf/svnserve.conf
```
file in each repository has a configuration item which names the password database file. This is the
```
password-db
```
item in the
```
[general]
```
section, just set them all to point to the same file.
If you're not using svnserve, then this probably doesn't apply.
