"svn" goes up in the directory hierarchy to look for a .svn directory. The issue is that it doesn't stop at filesystem and/or owner change. This has several consequences:
* A potential security issue, because some .svn directory may be under control of another user. * On some machine at my lab (Debian/stable), this makes svn hang when trying to open "/home/.svn", which is the home dir of the user ".svn" (FYI, emacs tries to get the svn status of a file when opening it). This is reproducible with svn, version 1.14.2 (r1899510) compiled Oct 20 2022, 08:12:24 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu under Debian/unstable. On the Debian/stable machine, this issue is made worse by the fact that svn still goes up after a svn working copy has been reached: patate:~/private/backup> svn info hangs, but not patate:~/private> svn info svn: E155036: Please see the 'svn upgrade' command svn: E155036: The working copy at '/home/vlefevre/private' is too old (format 9) to work with client version '1.14.1 (r1886195)' (expects format 31). You need to upgrade the working copy first. which fails immediately (this was probably a very old svn working copy, which I no longer use). -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
