Bug#739278: subversion: E175013 svn diff -rN:M failure (access forbidden)

2014-02-17 Thread Vincent Lefevre
Package: subversion
Version: 1.8.5-2
Severity: normal

With the 1.8.5-2 client and some remote server, I get an error

svn: E175013: Access to '/svn/' forbidden

when I do svn diff -r118:119 https://host//subdir;, but
svn diff -r118:119 https://host//subdir/file; (where file
corresponds to the file that has changed in the diff) is OK.

If I'm in a working copy of https://host//subdir, then
svn diff -r118 is OK too (it seems that what makes the failure
disappear is that the diff is against BASE, which is local).

As a summary, to make the failure occur, one needs:
  * diffing between two *remote* revisions;
  * the URL corresponds to the subdir on which permissions have been
given.

The revisions don't seem to matter. I even get the same error for
-r118:118.

There's no such problem with svn 1.6.12 (r955767) on some other
Debian machine and svn 1.7.9 (r1462340) on an Ubuntu machine.
So, that's a regression.

I've reported the problem in the Subversion dev list, but there
were no conclusive comments. It might be a Debian specific bug.
