We have a partner who needs visibility into our SVN repository. It is a local repository with no http server (Apache) access.
If this partner is granted Read Only permissions to the directory on the Windows Server where the repository is stored - would that be enough to interact with SVN? Would a checkout be allowed? Read Only access has been provided to this directory, and all subdirectories: \\aab1234\Common\repo I ask - because when TortoiseSVN was used under these permissions - this was the result: Error: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL Error: Unable to open repository 'file://abc123/Common/repo/MyProject/trunk' Error: Can't open file Error: '\\aab1234\Common\repo\MyProject\trunk\format': Error: The system detected a possible attempt to compromise security. Please ensure Error: that you can contact the server that authenticated you. Any help with this issue would be appreciated. Thank You Subversion community. -Chris Coleman Java Developer
