I have set up subversion by following http://www.maketecheasier.com/setting-up-subversion-version-control-in-ubuntu/ .Rightnow svn checkout is not asking for password. How can this be achieved ?

Answer 1

Here is the ultimate answer to your question: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.8/.

Here is the chapter you must read: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.8/svn.serverconfig.httpd.html#svn.serverconfig.httpd.authn.

Answer 2

From mentioned by @bahrep SVN Book

For example, to allow anonymous read-only operations, you would use the LimitExcept directive (passing the GET, PROPFIND, OPTIONS, and REPORT request type parameters) and place the previously mentioned Require valid-user directive inside the block instead of just inside the block.

(Bolding is my addition)

and thoughtlessly copied from howto <Location> section contains exactly this snippet

<LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
Require valid-user
</LimitExcept>
