This failure occured on subversion 1.4 on Windows - but I am behind a strict firewall and proxy. It is possible that webdav is not fully supported here. I will try later with a linux boxen. While pulling my hair out about subversion last night, I did management to find out something very useful, I think. It is possible to use rsync to make a direct backup of our subversion archive at SourceForge using the following commands: $ export RSYNC_PROXY=rsync-svn.sourceforge.net:80 $ mkdir -p ~/repo/axiom/branches $ rsync -v -a rsync-svn-a::svn/axiom/* ~/repo/axiom/branches See: http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=31070&group_id=1#bac kup Then you can checkout a copy of the souces directly from this local mirror! $ cd ~ $ pwd /home/page $ svn info file:///home/page/repo/axiom/branches $ svn co file:///home/page/repo/axiom/branches build.improvements It's fast! because rsync uses a very efficient network protocol and file:// access is just local. Please give it a try and let me know if it works for you.
