@node Protocol
@chapter Protocol
The Subversion client library @code{libsvn_ra_dav} uses the @emph{Neon}
library to generate WebDAV DeltaV requests and sends them to a
"Subversion-aware" Apache server.
This Apache server is running @emph{mod_DAV} and @emph{mod_DAV_SVN},
which translates the requests into Subversion filesystem calls.
For more info, @xref{Network Layer}.
For a detailed description of exactly how Greg Stein
<@email{gstein@@lyra.org}> is mapping the WebDAV DeltaV spec to
Subversion, see his paper: @file{notes/webdav-usage.html}
For more information on WebDAV and the DeltaV extensions, see
@uref{http://www.webdav.org} and @uref{http://www.webdav.org/deltav}.
For more information on @emph{Neon}, see
