Hello,

I'm trying to use SVN on Windows to connect to the SVN interface of a GitHub repository as it's much easier to integrate in my overall setup. Using SVN 1.6.16 (CollabNet build), I was able to issue this command successfully:

svn list --non-interactive https://github.com/project-jedi/jcl/trunk/jcl@HEAD

where it gives me a nice list of what's inside that folder.

Considering that version 1.6 is quite outdated, I decided to upgrade my environment to version 1.8.11 (Alagazam.net build) Unfortunately, when I issue the exact same command from the exact same computer, here is what I now get:

svn: E160016: Can't get entries of non-directory

That's very strange because "jcl" is a folder.
Using the TortoiseSVN build based on SVN 1.8.13, I also get the same error message when using the repository browser on that folder.

Now, if I issue that command:

svn list --non-interactive https://github.com/project-jedi/jcl/trunk/jcl/source@HEAD

then it works with both 1.6 and 1.8 versions, clearly indicating that "jcl" is indeed a folder.

What's wrong with that specific folder in that repository? And why is it only happening with the most recent versions of SVN?

Thanks a lot in advance for any answer.

Regards,

Olivier
