Re: Re: Problem using svn 1.8.13 accessing UNC network pathes under cygwin 1.7.35-1
Dear David, dear Corinna, thanks for your fast response and the workaround, David. I know the possibility to mount network paths via /etc/fstab. Pityingly, this is not a good alternative for me because I am in a productive environment and use a series of existing links in a series of orgmode files (for emacs). Changing the links would mean to change existing logs. Up to now I use symbolic links as a workaround. This works from the command line but not from within emacs since emacs vc-mode resolves the links before it uses them. Could it be that the problem is related to the following one: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-07/msg00376.html If this is the case I assume that the problem has little to do with svn itself but with the cygwin-dll and should be fixed by Corinna. But, that is just my humble guess. Note, that I tried to give the link already in the previous mail but everything I wrote was rejected by the mail server because of an exceeded spam-level. I tried to keep the spam level low in avoiding the verbatim link. I finally succeeded in subscribing to the mailing list. So, I am trying again...

I've made some attempts to get UNC paths working with svn in the past, but obviously I have not succeeded. I urge you to try to patch either libapr1 or subversion yourself to correct the problem, if you have the necessary coding skills. I honestly don't forsee myself having the time or interest to fix this myself, especially since I no longer use svn. -- David Rothenberger daver...@acm.org Sweater, n.: A garment worn by a child when its mother feels chilly. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

The double slash at the beginning of UNC paths gets lost: svn status -u //servername/some/path/under/svn svn: warning: W155007: '/servername/some/path/under/svn ' is not a working copy I'm the maintainer of svn and libapr1. I'm sure there is a bug in there somewhere, but I haven't been able to find it myself. I don't use svn much and don't have much free time, so I don't expect to investigate this. If you want to provide a patch to fix the problem, I'm willing to run the libapr1 and subversion unit tests with it. Otherwise, I suggest you mount the UNC path through /etc/fstab and use the mount point instead of the UNC path with svn. -- David Rothenberger daver...@acm.org hacker, n.: A master byter. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
