Package: subversion
Version: 1.8.5-2
Severity: normal

With the 1.8.5-2 client and some remote server, I get an error

svn: E175013: Access to '/svn/xxxx' forbidden

when I do "svn diff -r118:119 https://host/xxxx/subdir";, but
"svn diff -r118:119 https://host/xxxx/subdir/file"; (where "file"
corresponds to the file that has changed in the diff) is OK.

If I'm in a working copy of https://host/xxxx/subdir, then
"svn diff -r118" is OK too (it seems that what makes the failure
disappear is that the diff is against BASE, which is local).

As a summary, to make the failure occur, one needs:
  * diffing between two *remote* revisions;
  * the URL corresponds to the subdir on which permissions have been
    given.

The revisions don't seem to matter. I even get the same error for
-r118:118.

There's no such problem with svn 1.6.12 (r955767) on some other
Debian machine and svn 1.7.9 (r1462340) on an Ubuntu machine.
So, that's a regression.

I've reported the problem in the Subversion dev list, but there
were no conclusive comments. It might be a Debian specific bug.
