Hrmph. I couldn't get the example in the doc to work whentrying it with a toy example: j...@work ~/work/svntest $ svn import ./foobar file:///mnt/h/svn/GDJ/foobar -m "initial drop" svn: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL svn: Unable to open repository 'file:///mnt/h/svn/GDJ/foobar' where: j...@work ~/work/svntest $ ls -la /mnt/h/svn total 0 drwxr-xr-x+ 1 jg Domänen-Benutzer 0 May 21 14:46 . drwx------+ 1 Administratoren Domänen-Benutzer 0 May 21 14:40 .. drwxr-xr-x+ 1 jg Domänen-Benutzer 0 May 21 12:56 jg Accessing the jg project is fine: j...@work ~/work/svntest $ svn list file:///mnt/h/svn/jg .bashrc .bashrc.d/ .emacs.d/ .emacs.el .gnus/ .gnus.el Of course, GDJ doesn't exist. Am I supposed to create this first? Apparently so, although the documentation doesn't mention this: j...@work ~/work/svntest $ svnadmin create /mnt/h/svn/GDJ j...@work ~/work/svntest $ svn import /home/jg/work/svntest/foobar file:///mnt/h/svn/GDJ/foobar -m "initial drop" Adding ...(many files) ... Committed revision 1. But I still get a very similar error when I try to to tag the stuff. The tagging of the "vendor data" went okay, but, after creating my project structure: $ svn import . file:///mnt/h/svn/myproject -m "create project structure" Adding trunk Adding branches Adding tags Committed revision 1. when trying to copy the "vendor data": j...@work ~/work/svntest $ svn copy file:///mnt/h/svn/GDJ/foobar/0.1 \ file:///mnt/h/svn/myproject/trunk/foobar \ -m "bring foobar-0.1 into driver project" svn: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL svn: Unable to open repository 'file:///mnt/h/svn' Huh? "Unable to open repository 'file:///mnt/h/svn'"? To which URL is it even referring?
