[nycbug-talk] ipad remote storage question

[Edward Capriolo]

I was going to suggest just moving the chunks to
/etc/http/conf.d/<user_name>.conf

I have a script that takes one argument 'repo name' and generated an entire
SVN repo. (If you want I will share) You can do a similar thing to building
a config file for a specific user and then apachectl graceful to reload.
