svn diff issue: svn confuses files with dirs on hfsplus?

[Georg Kunz]

Hi!




$> svn diff somefile
svn: Can't open file 'somefile/.svn/entries': Permission denied

Weirdly, running

$> svn diff

works well, however, and shows a diff of all files as expected.





UUID=... /media/Data     hfsplus users,auto,exec,rw 0 0

Any ideas that might help me solve the problem?

I encoutered a weird problem with subversion 1.6.6 & 1.6.9 on a 32 & 64bit Xubuntu 10.04: My working copies are located on a hfsplus partition which is shared across the Xubuntu Linux and MacOS on my development machine. For some strange reason, I cannot diff single files in any working copies on this partition: After checking out the same repository to an ext3 partition, _both_ commands work fine. Based on the error message above, I wonder why subversion confuses a single file with a directory? Why is it looking for .svn/entries that does obviously not exist? hfsplus is case insensitive, but I successfully used subversion on such a partition for quite a while before. I suppose, the hfsplus partition is not mounted correctly. These are the mount options I use in my fstab:
