Ok, maybe that is the problem: my repository is at a website. > >> If I type: >> svn propset svn:log "Added wisosw_d as input file" -r65 --revprop >> Error: >> svn: DAV request failed; it's possible that the repository's >> pre-revprop-change hook either failed or is non-existent >> svn: At least one property change failed; repository is unchanged >> If I type: >> svnadmin setlog -r 65 --bypass-hooks newlog.txt >> (Where newlog.txt is "Added wisosw_d as input file".) >> Error: >> svnadmin: Exactly one file argument required > > What does svnadmin setlog take for parameters (I haven't had 1.3 > around for years, so I don't recall)? svnadmin help setlog svnadmin help setlog: setlog: usage: svnadmin setlog REPOS_PATH -r REVISION FILE Set the log-message on revision REVISION to the contents of FILE. Use --bypass-hooks to avoid triggering the revision-property-related hooks (for example, if you do not want an email notification sent from your post-revprop-change hook, or because the modification of revision properties has not been enabled in the pre-revprop-change hook). NOTE: revision properties are not historied, so this command will permanently overwrite the previous log message. Valid options: -r [--revision] arg : specify revision number ARG (or X:Y range) --bypass-hooks : bypass the repository hook system I tried: svnadmin setlog http://aforge.awi.de/svn/echam5iso -r 65 --bypass-hooks newlog.txt Error: svnadmin: 'http://aforge.awi.de/svn/echam5iso' is an URL when it should be a path Indeed it is an ULR, but I never used a path. "svn info" gives: Path: . URL: http://aforge.awi.de/svn/echam5iso Repository Root: http://aforge.awi.de/svn/echam5iso etc.
