Introduction
This document explains how to create aliases for files inside a Svnwiki repository.
Creating the alias
To create an alias just make a symbolic link to the file and add it to the repository.
For example, to make accesses to file alejandro be redirected to location weblogs/azul, do this:
# Create symbolic link 'alejandro' pointing to 'weblogs/azul': ln -s weblogs/azul alejandro # Add symbolic link 'alejandro' to the repository: svn add alejandro
Commit and you'll be done.
How it works
When Svnwiki detects that a link has been created, it doesn't modify the static contents in any way. Accesses to the link (alejandro in the example above) get redirected to the CGI as usual (thanks to the default error handler). The CGI will realize what's going on and redirect the user to the appropriate page (whatever the link points to).
