How do I run svnserve as a service on Windows?
For versions 1.4.0 and later, you can find instructions here. In versions before 1.4.0, the svnserve binary itself could not be installed as a Windows service, but there are a number of “service wrappers” that can do the job; for example: • SVNService is a free tool written by Magnus Norddahl • SrvAny is avaliable free of charge from Microsoft There is a bit more about running svnserve as a service in the TortoiseSVN manual.
