I am following the method described in http://www.maketecheasier.com/setting-up-subversion-version-control-in-ubuntu for creating a subversion repo.It works fine. But when I try to create a second user using

sudo htpasswd -cm /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd yourusername

, the current user gets deleted and it gets replaced by the new user. How can I create additional users? /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd file contains only the latest user credentials I added.

I found the solution from http://www.wandisco.com/svnforum/threads/33361-creating-a-new-svn-user-with-password?s=ea3c8ce175b09de948e8aafe7d4f8ab6&p=124540&viewfull=1#post124540.

For adding another user 

#sudo htpasswd -m /etc/.svn-auth-file <username>

should be used instead of 

#sudo htpasswd -cm /etc/.svn-auth-file <username>

To add one user :

sudo htpasswd -cs /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd username

to add many users 

sudo htpasswd -s /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd userX
