Hi. Seems like I have hit with the issue http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3445 Well, it is old report but still open?
When committing to https://proxyserver/svn/ the client shows message svn: Commit failed (details follow): svn: At least one property change failed; repository is unchanged svn: Error setting property 'log': Could not execute PROPPATCH. On the master server there is following message in error.log [Fri Mar 18 08:06:46 2011] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Could not execute PROPPATCH. [500, #206] [Fri Mar 18 08:06:46 2011] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Properties may only be defined in the http://subversion.tigris.org/xmlns/svn/ and http://subversion.tigris.org/xmlns/custom/ namespaces. [409, #0] I had another repository with same setup, https://proxyserver/svnTest/ and commits did work against it. I enabled the content logging on apache, and comparing the data received on server shows subtle difference: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><D:propertyupdate xmlns:D="DAV:" xmlns:V="http://subversion.tigris.org/xmlns/dav/" xmlns:C="http://subversion.tigris.org/xmlns/custom/" xmlns:S="http://subversion.tigris.org/xmlns/svn/"><D:set><D:prop><S:log >does it work?</S:log></D:prop></D:set></D:propertyupdate> for /svntest and <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><D:propertyupdate xmlns:D="DAV:" xmlns:V="http://subversion.tigris.org/xmlns/dav/" xmlns:C="http://subversion.tigris.org/xmlns/custom/" xmlns:S="http://subversion.tigris.org/xmlns/"><D:set><D:prop><S:log >does it work?</S:log></D:prop></D:set></D:propertyupdate> for /svn Note the difference in xmlns:S="http://subversion.tigris.org/xmlns/" xmlns:S="http://subversion.tigris.org/xmlns/svn/" And yes, the master repo URI has different ending than proxy URI Gert
