Head London

Here at Head, we use Redmine for our issue-tracking and collaboration needs, and it’s truly great. We’ve now replaced Trac, which was also really good, but we’re finding that the multiple-projects support in Redmine really trumps the single-project-per-installation model of Trac.

The only problem we’ve run into so far with Redmine was a problem setting up SVN branches when using Redmine.pm, the Perl authentication module.  Any attempt to branch a repo resulted in an Apache segfault and an explosion on the client-side.  The relatively simple solution was to replace the apache2-mpm-worker module with the apache2-mpm-prefork module.  I found this solution tucked away in the Redmine forums, but I figured I’d better make a note of it as the solution was a bit hard to find.
