'logfile' directive in svnserve.conf not working?

[Jeff Blaine-2]

Since before our version (1.6.2), it has supposedly been
possible to perform svnserve logging via one of 2 methods

1.  '--log-file' command-line argument

2.  'logfile=/some/log/file' directive in svnserve.conf

Our problem is that logfile=/some/log/file does no logging
at all for us.

# grep logfile /svnroot/rcf-krb5/conf/svnserve.conf
logfile = /tmp/rcf-krb5-svn.log
#

# ls -ld /tmp/rcf-krb5-svn.log
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root rcf-krb5 0 Nov  2 09:40 /tmp/rcf-krb5-svn.log
#

% svn commit foo.c
jblaine@...'s password:
Sending        foo.c
Transmitting file data .
Committed revision 11.
%

# cat /tmp/rcf-krb5-svn.log
#

If I remember correcly svnserve logging only logs error conditions
for now.

Thanks for the reply, Stefan.

 From what I can gather from a cursory glance at the
source, the following is true:

* There is no 'logfile=' configuration option supported
   at all for svnserve.conf

   There was no official word that this *was* supported,
   but a google search turned up a user suggesting to
   another user to use it.

* The command-line option, --log-file, is not documented
   in the man page (BUG)

   This option, however, is worthless to us.  We need it
   in svnserve.conf which we (admins) can toggle on the
   server side.

   From other searches, this request/discussion has been
   going on for over 5 years.

Unfortunately, I definitely do not have the time to write
and contribute any code :(
