Hi
We moved our repository to a new server, but didn't update the svn:externals properties everywhere. When trying to checkout a folder with an external pointing to the old server the checkout hangs for about 5 minutes. When finished or if I abort the checkout (Ctrl-C) i get an error message. C:\test>svn pg svn:externals https://newserver/svn/branches/FDP https://oldserver/svn/tags/FDP/FDP_1.80 CurrentVersion C:\test>svn co https://newserver/svn/branches/FDP A FDP\Info.txt U FDP <<<pressed ctrl-C>>> svn: warning: W205011: Error handling externals definition for 'FDP\CurrentVersion': svn: warning: W170013: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'https://oldserver/svn/tags/FDP/FDP_1.80' Checked out revision 96079. svn: E205011: Failure occurred processing one or more externals definitions If changing the svn:external property to ^/svn/tags/FDP/FDP_1.80 everything works. Using Wireshark to capture network traffic I see there are 3 SYN packets sent duting the first 10 seconds, then nothing. Wouldn't it be possible to error out more quickly? I'm using svn command line client 1.9.2 supplied with TortoiseSVN 1.9.2. Best regards David Darj
