Package: subversion Version: 1.6.9dfsg-1 Severity: normal I keep most of my file system under svn, so I have .svn directories all over the place owned by root, chmod 700.
Somewhere between 1.6.3 and 1.6.9, `svn checkout` started checking the root directory for the existence of an .svn directory and trying to look in it. My steps: cd /home/jondaley svn checkout http://devel.lifetype.net/svn/plog/plog/tags/lifetype-1.2.10 1.2.10 svn: Can't check path '/.svn/wc.db': Permission denied /.svn and /home/.svn does exist with 700/root permissions /home/jondaley/.svn doesn't exist. If I su and then run the same svn checkout command, it succeeds. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (700, 'testing'), (650, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages subversion depends on: ii libapr1 1.3.8-1 The Apache Portable Runtime Librar ii libc6 2.10.2-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libsasl2-2 2.1.23.dfsg1-5 Cyrus SASL - authentication abstra ii libsvn1 1.6.9dfsg-1 Shared libraries used by Subversio subversion recommends no packages.
