How to add self-signed certificates as trusted authority in Subversion

Normally when you use svn in a terminal and you check out some source code from a server who uses a self-signed certificate, you always get a prompt if you want to permanent store this certificate as a trusted source.

My problem was with Redmine is browsing my repositories over https and Redmine’s webserver complaining about untrusted certificate. This is rather an easy fix, edit /etc/subversion/servers (or ~/.subversion/servers e.x.) and jump to [global] section and add:

[global]
ssl-authority-files = /etc/ssl/geekrevolution/cacert.pem; /some/other/cert-if-needed.pem
