Various problem reports:

I was trying to find the patch used for the following changelog entry:
2007-07-25 6.3.5-4 Cristy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
# Remove extranous break statement so -type option properly sets the
image_info->type member (reference
http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9261).

(It seemed most simple for me to just patch that one bug on my Debian
system, instead of going installing imagemagick outside the package
system)

To find the patch for the bug I first tried to download the subversion
repository using the instructions at
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/subversion.php , but got the error
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~>  svn co 
https://www.imagemagick.org/subversion/ImageMagick/trunk
ImageMagick
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/subversion/ImageMagick/trunk'
svn: PROPFIND of '/subversion/ImageMagick/trunk': 405 Method Not
Allowed (https://www.imagemagick.org)

Then I tried the online svn repository viewer at
http://www.imagemagick.org/viewvc/bin/cgi/viewvc.cgi/svn/ImageMagick/trunk/magick/coder.c?view=log
, but the change seemed to be so old I needed to view old revisions.
Trying to view old revisions using the input field at the bottom of
the page gave the error
An Exception Has Occurred
Invalid path(s) or revision(s) passed to diff
HTTP Response Status
400 Bad Request
Python Traceback
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/var/www/html/ImageMagick/viewvc/lib/viewvc.py", line 3665, in main

   self.view_func(self)
 File "/var/www/html/ImageMagick/viewvc/lib/viewvc.py", line 2678, in view_diff
   p1, p2, rev1, rev2, sym1, sym2 = setup_diff(request)
 File "/var/www/html/ImageMagick/viewvc/lib/viewvc.py", line 2629, in
setup_diff
   p2 = _get_diff_path_parts(request, 'p2', rev2, request.pathrev)
 File "/var/www/html/ImageMagick/viewvc/lib/viewvc.py", line 2579, in
_get_diff_path_parts
   'to diff', '400 Bad Request')
ViewVCException: 400 Bad Request: Invalid path(s) or revision(s) passed to diff

But perhaps the revisions were in the online cvs tree viewer! Trying
that option from the top right of the svn viewer page, I got the
error:
An Exception Has Occurred
cvs not found!
The wrong path for this repository was configured, or the server on
which the CVS tree lives may be down. Please try again in a few
minutes.
Python Traceback

   raise debug.ViewVCException(
ViewVCException: ViewVC Unrecoverable Error: cvs not found!
The wrong path for this repository was configured, or the server on

minutes.

Now it seems I am out of options. I tried downloading the source code
of the two nearest revisions, but the diff was too large to easily
find the relevant bugfix. So would a developer be so kind as to
1) Fix downloading svn or 2) use svn to get and send me the patch for
the bugfix I referenced at the top of this email.

Addition:  When I first tried to send this email, I just an error back
6 hours later that I needed to be subscribed to the list (both
-developers and -users). The fact that you need to be subscribed
should be mentioned on
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/mailing-list.php , as it is
otherwise suboptimal to have to have your first email rejected to
found that out.

Thanks in advance :)
