Block access to .svn directories using htaccess
February 25, 2009
Description
It is a good idea to block access to .svn directories if you are using Subversion. Otherwise, anyone can read the files. Add the following snippet to your .htaccess file (in root directory of the website).
Snippet
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
# Block access to .svn files
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?\.svn/ - [F,L]
ErrorDocument 403 "Access Forbidden"
</IfModule>
# Block access to .svn files
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?\.svn/ - [F,L]
ErrorDocument 403 "Access Forbidden"
</IfModule>
