title: svn: /etc/subversion/servers:6: Section header expected
body: <p>I have to add proxy in the <code>/etc/subversion/servers</code> file. </p>
  
  <pre><code>  http-proxy-host=web-proxy.xxx.xxx.com
    http-proxy-port=8080
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>After adding the proxy info I am getting the above error while executing the <code>svn</code> command. 
  Now the error message clearly indicates line number 6 which is the proxy host. If I comment that line then svn commands starts working.</p>
  
  <p>Now after googling several forums I found that I have to put the info <code>"under [global] section and not at file's head"</code></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>So where is the [global] section in unix file system ? Is it the <code>config</code> file ? </li>
  <li>Is there any other way to resolve this problem ? </li>
  </ul>
