Preparatory to setting up a proxy server, I'm trying to svnsync a repository from 1.6.6 server to another 1.6.6 server (both x86_64 linux, one Fedora 7, one Fedora 12). Some user somehow managed to create a property "svn:" on a file and the svnsync fails like so:
Transmitting file data .svnsync: At least one property change failed; repository is unchanged svnsync: PROPPATCH of '/svn-proxy-sync/!svn/wrk/82bb957d-3816-45ed-a262-dadb63d80787/users/jwhiteman/python/cfg/CFG.xml': 207 Multi-Status (http://hood) I'm able to reproduce (what I assume is) the same problem without svnsync: 1) create a repo, with both svn and http access methods 2) via svn access method create a file, set an "svn:" property, and commit it, e.g. svn co svn://snow/test test cd test/ echo foo > foo.txt svn add foo.txt svn ps svn: asdf foo.txt svn ci -m testing 3) now try to access it via http: > svn pl http://snow/test/foo.txt svn: PROPFIND of '/test/!svn/bc/1/foo.txt': 207 Multi-Status (http://snow) So two questions here: 1) Is this a known issue? (I didn't see it in the bug db.) If not, can I get a second nomination that this is a bug? (If someone can point me in the right direction, and if this is likely to be a somewhat surgical fix, I'd be happy to attempt a patch.) 2) Any recommendations on how to proceed? For the initial sync of repos I can probably force the issue by svnsync'ing via the svn access method, but I don't think this will work once I set up write-through proxying. Thanks! Kylo
