Subversion only on server

[Mauricio Tavares]

If I am storing templates and other files in subversion, does
the client need to be able to reach the svn server or can I just have
the ansible server grab files from svn server and feed them to client?

Could go either way.

If you had a pattern like so:

- hosts: localhost

  tasks:

     - svn: ...

- hosts: webservers

  tasks:

     - synchronize: ...

You could do a local checkout to the server once and then blast it out, rather than have every server connect to SVN directly.

unarchive would be another alternative if you had a tarball rather than synchronize, which is a wrapper around rsync.

I would prefer doing that; it would be much more efficient than
connecting every client to SVN. When I first read
http://docs.ansible.com/subversion_module.html I thought you could
only use subversion by installing it on the client.

I will need to check that; may not be what I want to use here
but it is worth checking for a future task.
