Guten Tag Stefan Sperling, am Mittwoch, 5. August 2015 um 14:58 schrieben Sie: > http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.serverconfig.multimethod.html I have a similar task to do and while your link describes what do to around file permissions, I wonder how to deal with authentication and authorization: Each of my repos has it's own passwd and authz file and I would like to know if it's possible to use those per repo-configs in httpd? For the authentication part I guess it might be possible using mod_perls PerlAuthenHandler[1]. This looks like I could parse passwd per repo on my own using the repo name from the URL and knowing the paths to the repos. But what about "AuthzSVNAccessFile"? It seems like this configuration only accepts one simple path to one single file and there's no per repo logic available. I wouldn't want to merge all my authz files to one big one for maintenance reasons and such. Is there any way to hook into processing of AuthzSVNAccessFile and to dynamically provide the needed data or build the path to the file using some placeholders, where one placeholder is the name of the repo or such? There's PerlAuthzHandler[2] for mod_perl again, but I wouldn't want to reimplement the processing logic of authz files itself, just would like to have more influence which path to choose on each request.

RE: svn (un)lock commands succeed when pre-(un)lock hooks fail on svn 1.9
Can you confirm that the file is locked after the command? (E.g. by running svn status on the target) Does it lock the file when the hook blocks it… or does ‘svn lock’ return success? At the api level the lock command performs a callback per target to return the failure/success of each target, and it is not clear which part you call succeeded? The number of regression test of this operation was increased significantly for 1.9, as the behavior was made more consistent over the different ra layers and atomicity was improved. Bert Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Gustavo Chaves Sent: zaterdag 22 augustus 2015 22:02 To: users@subversion.apache.org Subject: svn (un)lock commands succeed when pre-(un)lock hooks fail on svn 1.9 Hi there, It seems that svn 1.9 changed the behaviour of the "svn lock" and the "svn unlock" commands with regards to the fate of the corresponding pre-lock/pre-unlock hooks. Up to svn 1.8, when those hooks failed (exit code != 0) the commands (svn lock/unlock) failed too. Now, on svn 1.9, the commands always succeed. To reproduce you can execute the atached script, which creates a temporary directory, cd to it, creates a repository and a working copy, commits a file and then tries to lock the file, before and after installing a hook that always fail. With svn 1.8 in you path the results would be like this: $ ./repro-lock.sh The files will be left in the /tmp/tmp.xoidDWLkub directory + cd /tmp/tmp.xoidDWLkub + svnadmin create repo + svn --version + head -1 svn, version 1.8.10 (r1615264) + svn co file:///tmp/tmp.xoidDWLkub/repo wc Checked out revision 0. + cd wc + touch file.txt + svn add file.txt A file.txt + svn ci -mx Adding file.txt Transmitting file data .

RE: Incomplete SVN dump files
In what way was the dump file incomplete? Was it broken halfway through a file? (That should have been caught via the checksums in the file). If a whole node edit is missing it is still a complete dumpfile and there is no way the current dump doesn’t know when a revision is done. (This allows editing the revisions in this format; as is sometimes done on migrations) Bert From: Eric Johnson Sent: dinsdag 15 september 2015 07:16 To: users@subversion.apache.org Subject: Incomplete SVN dump files I'm in a situation where I'm dumping Subversion repositories from remote locations (using svnrdump). The repositories are big enough, and the network connections between destinations just unstable enough that the repositories aren't making it all in one dump call. I've noticed, for one repository in particular, that I actually got a dump file that had only a part of the last commit before the connection broke. When I loaded up the repository, Subversion reported no problems on the svnadmin load, but it seems to me it should have noticed that the final commit recorded in the dump file was incomplete, and discarded it. Instead, it happily loaded it, and reported no problems. At least I was lucky enough to check that it was complete, and I used a technique to drop all but the last revision. Now I can load a new dump file from the commit that was incomplete. This brings me back to my question - shouldn't the load process ignore the last commit if it is incomplete in the dump file? That way I know I have an error to address! Eric.

RE: Redirection "svn info -r HEAD"
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235460.aspx “Potential Errors Passing CRT Objects Across DLL Boundaries” And really the first paragraph summarizes what happens here: “When you pass C Run-time (CRT) objects such as file handles, locales, and environment variables into or out of a DLL (function calls across the DLL boundary), unexpected behavior can occur if the DLL, as well as the files calling into the DLL, use different copies of the CRT libraries.” TortoiseSVN started to use a statically used CRT in all their .DLLs and just passed the CRT file handle of stdout between them. They reverted to using a shared CRT in the latest builds which fixes these problems.

RE: Bug report: The auto-props setting of svn:mime-type is impossibleto avoid.
The problem with xml in general is that is used in many scenarios. In some usages it can be handled as text, while in other usages it is really binary data where every whitespace change could be a breaking change. Xml is just a container format that makes many usages possible. We can't make that decision for every xml user in Subversion by just flipping the behavior. (We discussed this many times before) The best fix would be that magic really detects your xml form from the other xml forms, like it already detects many other forms. In many cases it can do this based on a xmlns definition or other hint. If your format is really text like application/* is a mismatch for you, but when you are storing signed information -with a signature at the end- in xml you really don't want to see automatic merges. I think the original decision to register an application/* type by the xml inventers was a safe decision. Your files are just not 'generic xml', and should have a more specific type.

RE: Commit Size Restriction
How do you define ‘commit size’? With delta compression, re-use on copies of files and directory trees, etc. it is very hard to define what size a commit would be. And as we have pluggable filesystem backends we don’t know what amount of disk space would be used after a commit. Personally I would just use a simple commit filter if necessary, to avoid users accidentally committing DVD images.

The update in one fetch operation in neon doesn't receive all checksums in all places. Serf receives a few more, because it uses a request per file. For trunk I fixed the missing checksums for 1.7, so a trunk server with a trunk client gets all the checksums editor v1 supports. But using an older server or an older client will not. In that case you just get the calculated checksums in your working copy. I think this server is pre 1.5, but it is certainly possible to get invalid checksums in a checkout when you encounter the problems mentioned in issue #3711. But you don't encounter these problems with trunk clients. Bert

If you call svn up --set-depth exclude PATH on your tags and branches folder, they should be completely removed from your working copy, leaving a marker that they shouldn't be updated. (You can bring them back by --set-depth infinity on a parent or an explicit update of PATH itself). This option is available for directories since Subversion 1.6. (In 1.7 you can also use it to exclude a specific file) Bert

The problem is: We just know it isn't utf-8. But that doesn't tell us how to fix it. But which encoding does it have, if it isn't utf-8 as expected? Without telling Subversion could choose from hundreds of different encodings (iso-8859-1?, etc., etc.), which might just contain the one you would like. (Or maybe your filesystem used format 101). Subversion defines that it must be utf-8, so it can't answer this question for you. Bert

(See my last comment to the issue.) That depends on where you look at it. This error is raised in the ra layer (Inside svn_ra_reparent) where you have a connection to a single repository via its url: In that location it should fail on every url not pointing to exactly the same repository. I think this issue is caused by the ra_serf code that removes default port numbers when you connect to a repository by using APR. Neon used its own rules so it wouldn't fail. But with our strict rules that any uri passed to our apis must be canonical, we shouldn't see this problem. But as I found out (and fixed in r1137927) our uri canonicalization for user provided uris didn't check port numbers at all. Bert
RE: Possible bug moving file and then deleting directory
Patrick, I can't reproduce the tree conflict in either of those cases using the combination of a trunk client and repository.

It does sound pretty similar to 3526, though my repro script is a bit different. However I created a script to reproduce issue 3526 and that also fails for me. To summarize, both of these sets of steps have the same outcome: Issue 3526: 1.) Add a file in a directory, commit 2.) Delete that directory, commit fails saying the directory is not up to date 3.) Update -> tree conflict My initial email: 1.) Add a file in a directory, commit 2.) Move that file to another directory, commit 3.) Delete the first directory, commit fails saying the directory is not up to date 4.) Update -> tree conflict Regarding Mark's pointer to the FAQ, I realize the tree conflicts are expected behavior in a sense, but I feel like the steps before that should work regardless. Especially since I'm committing at a level above the directory in question that does have operations done on it to advance the current revision number. I doubt anyone would know that an update is required in the middle of these steps.

This will just verify if $URL matches the URL of $targetdir and if it doesn't you will get an error. If the test passes it will just perform an update to the requested revision (or in this case HEAD) This was originally designed so you could create restartable scripts that perform a checkout. So if the checkout fails you can just rerun checkout and it continues where it stopped the last time. (For scripts this might be easier than running 'svn update $targetdir) Bert

'svn status' only notices that files are modified if either the size or the date changed since the last subversion operation that modified the file. (Subversion automatically waits for some time to make sure other tools can't change files in the same second when the filesystem has less than or exactly 1 second timestamp precision) A clock skew between tool and filesystem might introduce this problem if you have a script that updates files directly after update. But personally I would guess that Ryan's answer is far more likely as usually at least some file sizes change. Bert

In Subversion 1.7 externals definitions don't have to be committed to work correctly. In 1.6 I would recommend committing them before applying, but in many cases it will work if you don't do that. We integrated the tracking of which externals a working copy has in the new working copy store. The next 'svn update' will apply the changes even if the directory on which they are defined was never committed. Bert

NTLM is known to be insecure when not used over https. Then somebody added Kerberos support to neon, but the api wasn't updated to allow different behavior for the specific implementations. As Stefan already noted: this discussion belongs on the neon mailinglist. Once neon supports the necessary hooks/apis to enable Negotiate for the secure protocols we can enable them in Subversion.

I can reproduce this problem and will look into fixing this. There are two problems with your URL that will probably make it fail even after this assertion is fixed. The correct url format is file:///d:/temp/test/repo.svn with three slashes after file:. file://server/share/ would translate to \\server\share, so your path points to \\d:\temp\test\repo.svn. Bert

No, it doesn't have to be a sqlite limitation, it could be a difference between the old loggy code and how we handle the working queue now. If there are workingqueue operations we don't allow opening the database at all, while we used to allow reading the entries for things like status. What kind of error do you get? (The SharpSvn stacktrace isn't really interesting for the users on this list, but the message that is part from the trace matches exactly what you would get from svn) Bert
RE: Authentication realm
Passwords are stored per hostname (+realm), not per working copy like in your webbrowser, so using a different hostname requires adding a new username+password in your credential cache. Storing it in a different way would allow tricking subversion to send the username and password to any other server. Bert From: Gavin Baumanis [mailto:gav...@thespidernet.com] Sent: vrijdag 30 september 2011 5:14 To: Subversion Users Subject: Authentication realm Hi Everyone, We recently created a DNS entry for our subversion repository. Prior to this we just use the private LAN IP address to access the repo via http (Apache) Post the change to having a hostname to use I created a new branch - and used the host name to do this. Subsequently when I perform an svn update I a now prompted for username and password for the named instance of our repo. I did some reading in the "good" book. and used svn switch (svn switch old_IP_address new_HostName_Address at the root of my working copy. svn info confirms that the repo address is now set to the hostname version of the URL. However I am still getting prompted for a username and password. If I enter the "usual" password - all is good... but the prompt is playing havoc without Continuous Integration scripts. Some more reading suggests that I might need to add a new authentication realm and users via; conf/svnserve.conf I was hoping that I might just get some confirmation that is indeed what I need to do - before I go "playing" with the config scripts. As always - a big thanks for your help. Gavin.

In both these reported cases the code calls SVN_ERR_ASSERT() which can simply return an error code from the handler. See the documentation in svn_error.h. Only SVN_ERR_ASSERT_NO_RETURN() has the problems you describe as 'no return possible', but you get a boolean in the handler to see in which variant you are. Another option is to throw a C++ exception and catch it when the call stack is back in your code. If you then clean the pool you passed to the function your own code should work reliable again. (You can't be sure that calling into Subversion is safe, but from what I hear from AnkhSVN users it appears to just work even though I do recommend them to restart Visual Studio if this problem occurs) Bert

Can you post a simple walkthrough script that describes your exact problem. By just reading your mail I would guess the script is: As user lk do: $ svn co http://server/repos/PROJECT/trunk/Sample sample $ svn up sample (repeat the update) But this simple scenario appears to work correctly for me as it doesn't check out AnyDir/RestrictedDir in my tests. The ouput of svn says that you update the directory above 'Sample'. Things I'm interested in are like: * Do multiple users share a single working copy? So AnyDir/restricteddir is checked out by one user, but wouldn't be by the user updating. Or the other way around. * Is the configuration changed between updates? Is some change in a specific location required between updates? E.g. one in AnyDir, RestrictedDir, etc. I can see some problems, which might need fixing but I'm still not sure what your specific problem is. (I'm not sure if the problems I currently see are regressions. Still looking into that) The error you see would only make sense if the working copy doesn't know about RestrictedDir, except that it is a locally added file or directory. When the server then tells that there should be a restricted path there you get this error. But giving a working copy with a single user, that is +- impossible to read in your mail. Bert

No, this won't work. This trick relies on receiving the update from the current state to r0 from the server, but you don't have the authorization to get this update from the server. Bert

This has the same effect as a normal update op parentOfRestricted dir. So you probably receive a tree conflict (restricted dir is not unmodified) *and* the failed update (security problem). Bert

You get in this branch if a previous atomic initialization call failed: the callback function failed and returned an error. This result is then ignored in some code paths. It is most likely not caused by the atomic operations failing itself, but more likely by an initialization error in a third party library. Bert

The DB parameter must be a valid reference. My best guess would be that kdevelop just initializes a svn_wc_client_context_t with all 0s, while it should have used svn_client_create_context (). In Subversion <= 1.6 this worked ok for some operations although it was documented as *don't do this* since well before 1.0. Since Subversion 1.7 it will create this crash. Googling for kdevelop and Subversion got me: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=284061 Which validates my guess, and says it has been fixed since October 2011. So you should probably upgrade your kdevelop. Bert
RE: Seeking recommendations on sharing Subversion config within a development team
The easiest way to do this on Windows is storing the relevant entries in the registry. The standard Windows management tools make it easy to keep those synchronized over multiple tools. The per user settings are under: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Tigris.org\Subversion\Config And the common settings are under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tigris.org\Subversion\Config (add WOW6432 when necessary for Win64) You can also use a configuration file in the all users appdata, just like you can use setting files in /etc/ on unix.

On other platforms we should also close databases that we are about to move as our references to it (via abspath) are no longer valid anyway. (And who knows what sqlite does with the path internally...) I don't know what svn_wc__db_drop_root() does exactly, but the code should also flush some of the svn_wc__db_t internal state which maps abspaths to db handles. It might even be easier to resolve this problem this way: just release all databases below a specific path?

Serf reports a generic failure on some certificate errors, where neon reports an authority untrusted.

By default, there's a "clean" target in > VisualStudio builds, but it doesn't do a very good job of cleaning. The standard files produced by Visual Studio should clean up everything, but if you customize your build you should also customize the cleanup. (This assumes that you pass the same custom variables to the build as the cleanup step of MSBuild. If not it cleans up a different build) And Visual Studio makes adding custom build tasks very easy, but doesn't provide an easy way to add your own cleanup tasks. (I see too many scripts that just call things like xcopy and assume this magically cleans up) When running from Visual Studio it appears that there are leftovers, but this is mostly because the Intellisense uses the same infrastructure to get its information. If you do find places where the common tasks leave files behind please report them as Microsoft is still taking bug reports for Visual Studio 11. And if these are Subversion and/or AnkhSVN specific problems please also send me a mail so I might be able to reach out via a few other channels. Bert

RE: Problem with partial check out
Hi, Are you sure you checked out the right directory from boost. I performed a $ svn co http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk boost (as recommended on http://www.boost.org/users/download/#repository) on my 2 year old notebook without solid state disk. (Just a simple 7200rpm 2.5 drive) And I got a working copy with just a 29 MB .svn/wc.db The working coy contains 37383 nodes And 33537 pristine files. An fully recursive svn update from the root of this working copy takes about 2.5 seconds on the working copy. (A bit more if updates come in) Probably with a hot filesystem cache, but stil... My guess is that you accidentally checked out the root of the repository instead of just trunk. You should never do that unless you really understand what you are doing. (That would check out all files in all different variants, etc.) The only this item update performs a single operation with network initiation for every selected item. Usually that is orders of magnitude slower than performing a recursive operation on the root. (Subversion is fully optimized for recursive operations; not for single item operations) Bert From: Elmar Teitge [mailto:elmar.tei...@ultra-it.de] Sent: vrijdag 30 maart 2012 23:35 To: users@subversion.apache.org Subject: Problem with partial check out Hello, I have a problem with partial checkout of the repository from the boost c++ library. First I guessed, that this is a problem with Tortoise SVN, because there have been problems with the TSVN cache in the past. Switching off the caching mechanism showed, that this is not the cause of the problem. The total discussion with the TSVN developers is attached below. Deleting the whole content of a folder from the working copy by doing an update to revision with option only this item is running over 30 hours and there is absolutely no measurably progress with a solid state disk. Doing an clean-up process takes only about an hour. Is this an known issue can anyone help with this topic ??? Thanks. Best regards, Elmar Hello Elmar, What you mean by a bug? That database access when database is stored on a solid state drive is slow? I would say it is not a bug, it is physics. In essence I would say that there are many small transactions and each updates the database, and writes are slow. If you want to dig further 1) look for SQLite knowledge. There are some subtle ways how the database can be tuned. It is some specific subject and I cannot help you with it. 2) look at the mailing lists at subversion.apache.org and their archives . Performance of working copy operations is sometimes discussed there. Though usually people are faced with it when trying to work over network (e.g. client running on Windows accessing wc stored on a network drive somewhere). That is one more scenario where performance is known to be poor. 3) the database size of 500 Mb is bad. You have too many single files to manage. :/ As I mentioned, svn cleanup would not shrink it. There exist some sqlite commands that can claim unused space in a database file, but you would need an sql client to execute them, not svn client. Best regards, Konstantin Kolinko Hello Konstantin, thanks for your response. I have done a new trial for checking out the repository ... Two folders were checked out, the branches and the sandbox folder ... I I tried again dumping the content of the sandbox folders by "update to revision" with option "only this item" ... that was running about 5 hours, than I cancelled this process in the update dialog ... I had a look in the .svn folder and found out, that the SQLite database file was 570 MB in size ! So I decided to do an experiment and deleted all pristine content and all the files in the working copy folders ... in the next step I have done the clean-up process like you described it ... After the clean-up process, the database file is still 570 MB large ... ... and an update process with "only this item" is still in progress with no result ... I am sure, that my problem is caused by a bug. But how to do a trace, that helps to find that bug ?

The data that got missing in 1.6 when you got the tree conflict is now already stored in the pristine store so the update is no longer necessary, but it doesn't hurt to update anyway. In 1.6 you should have resolved the tree conflict in the same way, but the recovering process from missing data was about the same thing.

The supported way of introducing server exclusions is applying authorizations on directories in a repository. (We used to call these nodes 'absent' before 1.7) Are you sure there are/were no authorizations applied on your server for these files? You should only get this error if btn_next.gif was somehow not accessible before your update and now the parent directory is deleted. (And with a quick look through the code I think you also need a tree conflict before you would get in this error. I will try to do some testing in this direction later this week) If you just did a checkout and then an update, this should never happen. My guess would be that you have other problems, but it is hard to tell without a reproduction. Some information on the authorization settings of the repository would help us get further in diagnosing your problem.

RE: svn status leaves out changes in externals
Hi, Did you create the externals by using 'svn checkout' or did you create 'your own externals' by checking out a separate working copy and assumed Subversion would just use it as an external? Svn status works correctly for me when I bring in externals using 'svn checkout' or 'svn update'. Bert From: Matthias Meixner [mailto:matthias.meix...@verifone.com] Sent: vrijdag 1 juni 2012 10:37 To: users@subversion.apache.org Subject: svn status leaves out changes in externals Hello! In all versions up to 1.6.x "svn status" used to list all changed files including those found in directories referenced using svn:externals. Using version 1.7.5 this is not the case any longer. Even with option --depth infinite, changed files are not listed. I consider this a bug since it is not possible any more to recursively check for changed files, instead now I have to manually check all subdirectories one by one.

Are you using a release build of Subversion or do you use a maintainer build? The maintainer build installs additional validations when opening the working copy, that may cause this error when coupled with specific Sqlite versions. (This would be a known issue and upgrading Sqlite to 3.7.9 or later the recommended action) Some specific builds of Sqlite may enable foreign key constraints by default; this may also cause this issue. But in that case I would call it a bug in Subversion. Bert

See svn_io_sleep_for_timestamps(). What you might see is that the file is somehow still blocked for reading when you are calling status on it. If the timestamps don't match (see anser Stefan), then a compare is performed. But if the file is (temporarily) not readable, because some other process blocks that the file is marked as 'modified'. This other process could be a file indexer, a virusscanner, a disk status monitor, etc. What you see later is probably that the file was closed and the status succeeds again. Bert

AnkhSVN implements the newer MSSCCI VAPI implementation of Visual Studio 2005 and later, which allows updating the workflow to what you are used with Subversion. You really need the old checkout-checkin based implementation of the MSSCCI spec for those other tools and AnkhSVN doesn't implement this (yet). (There are some ideas on how we can provide a limited set of the AnkhSVN features to other MSSCCI based tools, but some of the tools we really would loved to have support for, have yet another SCC implementation) Bert > > ~ mark c

We don't have forward history searching in Subversions filesystems. So allowing this option requires extending the filesystem layer.

RE: Issue #2243 still exists with svn 1.6.17
The 'no_ignore' flag is only used for recursive targets. Explicitly passed targets (such as via 'svn add *') are always processed.

RE: Issue #2243 still exists with svn 1.6.17
'svn status' and/or the api equivalent svn_client_statusX() also process the ignore status to provide the status if you have an unversioned or ignored item. The SharpSvn users list should have more details on these cases. (Googling for SharpSvn will also provide answers on StackOverflow). More than a few users asked similar and related questions there over the years. SharpSvn is a thin layer over the client api, so most questions equally apply to direct users of the libsvn_client api.

Our IDE would normally automatically call "svn add" when you add a new file to the solution. It is possible that this file could be in the svn ignore list. The result is that by attempting to make the developers life easy we will instead always add files which should be ignored. Is there any API for me to check if a file would normally be ignored so i can filter those paths out before calling svn_add to avoid this issue? My only other alternative would be to call something like svn add . --force and then see what files have been added and revert all of them except for the one I actually wanted.

RE: svn_wc_prop_set4 not working as expected.
Every svn_wc API that changes the working copy requires its caller to obtain a write lock. In the past that was done via the access batons and now it requires another call.

RE: Square brackets in file names and authz (in VisualSVN 2.5.5)
[Please try to keep the mails in plain-text] The problem with using a ‘\’ would be that you break the ‘\’ character in existing files to fix ‘]’. Things might be simpler when defining that lines that start with ‘[‘ and end with ‘]’ should parse everything in between as section markers.

The most likely cause for this issue (svn merge applying a 'trivial' merge), is now fixed on trunk and the fix is nominated for backport in r1361119. The less trivial merges already had a similar code path that 'fixed' this problem. Bert

There is no configuration setting for this. I would recommend fixing your dns (probably by adding an ipv4 alias to the server) or running your server (also) on ipv6 as that immediately fixes it for all users of your repository. A client setting would require all clients to be configured specifically, while DNS was invented to avoid that. Bert

Should an issue be created for this? svn update --set-depth exclude was not atomic in 1.7, but is fully atomic on current trunk. (Fixed about one and a half month ago) svn update --set-depth infinity is not atomic, but is fully able to recover from problems by restarting the same operation. Until the operation is completed on some subtree the directory is marked incomplete and this will make the next update (after interruption) load missing children. (This 'incomplete' behavior was implemented far before 1.0) Bert
RE: E200030 error on checkout
Withut knowledge of your setup: My guess would be that your setup accidentally picks up an older Sqlite as this syntax is supported by all our supported Sqlite versions.

If you are upgrading Sqlite specifically I would recommend going to a very recent 3.7 version as there are relevant optimizer fixes that may speed up several operations.

The number of allowed attempts and the block time are completely configurable by your enterprise admin and what you describe are certainly not the common defaults. Where I used AD before we had a limit of 5 attempts which automatically reset to 0 when a successful login was attempted. And it only blocked for 15 minutes. (Which would allow about 500 unique password attempts in 24 hours. Low enough to keep a half year valid good password safe) Subversion over http/https should usually only attempt once before prompting so I don't see why you see it blocking your access.

Committing an copy of a directory includes all the files inside. Before Subversion 1.7 merges would have reported all the files individually added, while it only committed the copy of the parent directory. We fixed this issue when switching to the new working copy backend. The result in the repository will be identical to what it was before 1.7, but status explains better what really happens. And now it can also report 'M +' when the file is scheduled to be added via its parent, but is itself modified. Bert

VC2012 support is available on trunk, but we haven't backported this to 1.6 or 1.7 (yet) as the changes are not trivial and upgrading the project files should just work. (Backport patch welcome of course) When you upgrade using Visual Studio, make sure you also update the referenced toolchain from v100 to v110 when upgrading from 2010 to 2012.

RE: rsvndump crash
Hi, rsvndump is not part of the subversion project. It has its own site on http://rsvndump.sourceforge.net/ Recent Subversion versions have a similar tool ‘svnrdump’, which can create a remote dump file for you. It should be part of recent commandline binary packages. So maybe it is easier to test if svnrdump works for your specific task, before (or next to) reporting the problem to the author of rsvndump.

RE: branching WC folder fails with files marked as deleted
This issue sounds like a combination of issues #2763 and #3569. The ‘svn up --depth empty’ in 1.6 triggers issue #3569: http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3569 ‘svn update --depth allows making a working copy incomplete’ While #2763 handles some similar cases in copies: http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2763 ‘del -> ci -> cp = missing directory?’ Both issues were fixed for 1.7 and are very hard to fix for 1.6 and earlier, as the fix for both relies on the additional layers in WC-NG. The easy fixes you might try break in other cases, as the data to do the right thing is just not stored in the working copy in 1.6.

Dont know what happened to the web email. I guess I found the issue and implemented the following feature in our MSSCCI wrapper. If you can confirm that, when I find a "deleted" line in the .svn/entries file to a WC controlled file as shown below, then the file was only deleted in the WC and is marked for deletion in the repo which will be done with the next commit. Is this the exact meaning of "deleted" the the WC control area entries file? And there is no other meaning? c1cf5a64-afc7-45b3-963c-f8ce2ed2cecf.mtx file 124877 < : > deleted Feature justification: When a file is added to the repo, sync'd (checked out/updated) to the working copy (by MTPE/MWT/MSSCCI), later the same file is deleted from the repo and the working copy sync'd (by MTPE/MWT/MSSCCI) again, this file is NOT 'updated' (svn up file) which with SVN would remove the file from the working copy but instead is (falsely) 'deleted' (svn del file) which removes the working copy file and marks this file as scheduled to be deleted in the working copies control area (.svn/entries). Feature: A 'SccGet' immediately following a 'SccPopulateList' where the folders (SccPopList) and the file folders (SccGet) do match between the two calls, will trigger a user dialogue asking whether to update the folders instead of the file list passed to SccGet. The feature can be controlled by setting the list size either to <= 0 to disabled, or to > 0 to enable and configure the max. file / folder list length in the dialog. Use case: MTPE/MWT sync.

I don't think one needs to understand tree conflicts to understand why deleting out of date files is prevented. You can't delete a file that has been committed to after you checked it out for the same reason you can't modify such a file: because allowing you to go through would lead to silently discarding the changes were done made in the newer revision that your wc doesn't have.

RE: Working copy corrupted by branch deletion
I'm not 100% sure how to reproduce this yet, but updating the folder to r0 and then updating it again should give you all children again. (You can also use -set-depth excluded, and then an explicit update on the target) I don't have suggestions on how you can do this with TortoiseSVN.

RE: Working copy corrupted by branch deletion
Hi, Thanks for a very interesting issue to look at. I'm happy to report that I would now call this issue fixed: I think we can call this a known issue as it has been known for quite some time. A workaround for this issue would be to do an explicit update of the missing target. (Or reducing and increasing the depth of the node). I documented the issue as issue #4295 with the following recipe $ svnadmin create repos $ svn mkdir --parents file:///%CD%/repos/A/B/C -m "" $ svn cp file:///%CD%/repos/A file:///%CD%/repos/AA -m "" $ svn co file:///%CD%/repos/A A $ svn switch ^/AA/B A/B $ svn rm file:///%CD%/repos/AA $ svn up A On 1.7 this reproduces your issue And a $ svn up A/B Will bring back the missing directory. When trying the same thing on trunk I found a completely different issue, where the complete update failed. I'm not going to bother you with the details of this report, as thanks to your bug report that huge regression will never be in a released version of Subversion. (Thanks!!!) To close issue #4295, I added a small check to the update code that handles incoming deletes. When it encounters a delete of a switched path it will now place a similar hidden marker as you would get when you update a path to r0 (or commit a file delete). The next update will now bring in the missing node. I will nominate the fix for backporting to a future 1.7 release.

RE: URL based commands not working in hooks\
Usually you shouldn't use 'svn log' from a hook. When using hooks you want to use the 'svnlook' command instead of 'svn' as you are looking directly at a transaction in progress. (And 'svnlook log' is more efficient than using the server that calls your hook again to access the same repository) 'svn log' looks at the committed state, while 'svnlook log -t REPOS_PATH' looks at a transaction in progress. But as Ryan mailed, we can't really help you without knowing what your script tries to do.

I'm not sure if I like these variants with unversioned paths. This might make users think that these paths are versioned and without warning who wouldn't expect that? The new unversioned/arbitrary diff is nice in specific situations, but it shouldn't' break the normal cases where 'svn diff *' would do one thing completely differently if it happens to match exactly two files, where one is versioned and one is not, or both are unversioned. If we want something like that we should support that with a flag like --unversioned (better name suggestions welcome) I really like the url vs path diff changes though. Bert

While (as far as I know) VisualSVN is the only tool that makes it this easy to setup, you can also use Active Directory as LDAP server with almost every Subversion server package.

Looking at your e-mail headers, I guess you are using Windows. On Windows (NT 4 and later) the passwords are stored in the auth folder, but encrypted with the per user cryptographic key managed by the Windows CryptoAPI. I think this feature was added around Subversion 1.3/1.4. Before that and on other operating systems than Windows the password is stored in there as plain text if there is no specific store available. Since Subversion 1.6 you get a warning from svn when the password will be stored as plain text. Bert
