ViewCVS is not needed for svn codestriker integration. This is not going to
work.

1. Silly question, does your svn repo work if you goto the url directly in your
web browser? This needs to work before you can do the codestriker integration.
You need to be running svn through apache or through svnserve process. Local
repository access will not work.
2. One of the changes made to 1.8.5 is that it is very careful to put any
subversion errors messages into the apache log. You should definitely look in
the log to see what is going on.

The test that should work is to put in a . for the module name start tag should
be n and end tag should be n+1. n should be version number that you know exists
in your repo. If it fails look at the apache error log.
