Re: Cannot accept 'svn:sync-lock' property because it is not encoded in UTF-8
Yes, I know that, but svn:sync-lock is a system property added by svnsync during synchronization, to keep the target repository locked. How do I re-encode it? 2010/3/17 Ryan Schmidt subversion-20...@ryandesign.com: On Mar 17, 2010, at 00:08, Dmitry Savvateev wrote: I've ran into the following problem with svnsync on Windows Vista.

Re: Cannot accept 'svn:sync-lock' property because it is not encoded in UTF-8
svn:sync-lock is set by svnsync as follows: apr_err = apr_gethostname(hostname_str, sizeof(hostname_str), pool); ... mylocktoken = svn_string_createf(pool, %s:%s, hostname_str, svn_uuid_generate(pool)); ... /* Except in the very last iteration, try to set the lock. */ SVN_ERR(svn_ra_change_rev_prop(session, 0, SVNSYNC_PROP_LOCK, mylocktoken, subpool)); I suppose either _gethostname() or _uuid_generate() return a non-UTF-8 string for you. For the short term, you could either change the hostname (assuming that's the problem) or hack svnsync so it generates the lock token differently. For the long term, we'll have to make sure the 'mylocktoken' is always valid UTF-8. (e.g., what is the encoding of hostname_str?)

Re: Error An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host with F5 content switch or working copy on shared drive

For the second scenario, I worked with someone on our networking team to understand the problem. What he discovered and how he resolved it with our F5 content switch can be found below. The server is running Solaris 10, Subversion 1.6.6, Apache 2.2.11, and repositories are served via HTTP. The client is running Windows XP SP3 and Subversion 1.6.7 (error occurs with TortoiseSVN as well), but the error also occurs on Windows Server 2003. I haven't tested any other Windows client OSes and haven't seen the error on UNIX, but suspect the underlying problem may exist there and the OS handles it more gracefully. Here is the explanation by my networking contact. The problem that is presenting is that the client's receive buffer is filling up and staying full for a long period of time. When this occurs, he advertises a tcp window size of 0 in packets he sends to the destination F5. This also happens when he goes directly against a server. The server seems to tolerate it while the F5 does not. Last year, I took traces of the traffic against the server by the client directly, and through the F5, and saw that the server was seeing different MTU and options from the F5. I modified the standard TCP profile on the F5 to have it proxy the TCP options the client offered so the server would get them. I also set it to proxy the MTU setting the client offered. This seemed to have fixed the problem at that time. But your current testing failed. Upon closer inspection, I determined that the F5 was resetting the connections, not the server as I had previously thought. This time, I turned off those two options from last year and increased the Maximum Segment Retransmissions from the default of 8 to 16. This controls the number of times the F5 resends a packet after it gets no response. This also controls the zero window probes he sends to see if the client can receive data yet. TCP uses a back-off algorithm and increases the time between retries. With 8 attempts, the total retry time is just over a minute. I suspect retries of 16 will cause it to retry for 5 or 10 minutes. I would really like to get this in front of SVN developers, because something is getting hosed on the client that causes him to stop pulling off the receive buffer. If the zero window lasted 10 seconds or so, it would not be a problem. But for him to in effect go offline for over a minute is, I believe, a bug. We can just assume that the reason the error does not occur when you hit the server directly is that the Sun box handles the zero window issue differently, or it might just retry more than 8 times by default. Might be a question for the UNIX team as to the retry count. If we get some time, we could do some packet captures and find out for certain. Yesterday and today, I did a few other things that *did not *help. I increased the TCP receive buffers on the client side sessions, then on the server side sessions, then both. I then turned off all of the tcp options in the F5 default TCP profile. So, in summary, my problem is currently resolved by increasing the Maximum Segment Retransmissions from the default of 8 to 16 on the F5. However, as I mentioned above I've seen this problem when connecting directly to the Subversion server and storing the working copy on a network drive. Does anyone have any ideas? Is this something that can be fixed in the Subversion code itself? Thanks. Justin No responses? This seems like something more for the dev list, but I wanted to follow protocol and wait for a response from the users list first. Thanks. Justin
RE: Error An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host with F5 content switch or working copy on shared drive
Hi, Subversion uses the neon (or serf) library for connecting with webdav repositories. It doesn't change any of the tcp settings itself, nor does it handle the tcp connections. (Neither of those has specific MTU handling or anything like that as far as I can tell. They just use the self-tuning support implemented in the operating system) For the server side everything is handled by the Apache httpd process and our mod_dav_svn just receives the pre-parsed requests; so no tcp handling there in the Subversion layer either. So I don't think the Subversion project can really fix this for you (as part of Subversion). But you might find the developers of the other projects on our development list. (Neon, Serf, Neon and Apache Httpd have development lists themselves too) Bert From: Justin Johnson [mailto:jus...@honesthacker.com] Sent: woensdag 17 maart 2010 12:47 To: users@subversion.apache.org Subject: Re: Error An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host with F5 content switch or working copy on shared drive On Fri, Mar 12, 2010 at 9:34 AM, Justin Johnson jus...@honesthacker.com wrote: Hi, I'm trying to understand why the following error occurs. svn: REPORT request failed on '/svn/reponame/!svn/vcc/default' svn: REPORT of '/svn/reponame/!svn/vcc/default': Could not read response body: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.

Installing two subversion release on the same machine
Hallo, I'm new comer in Subversion users mailing list and I want post my first question: I have Subversion 1.4.5 release up and running over a Linux CentOS machine. Due to I would like to upgrade Subversion to 1.6.9 release, I would like to know if it is possible to install two Subversion release on the same machine without performing upgrade of the old one.

Due to I would like to upgrade Subversion to 1.6.9 release, I would like to know if it is possible to install two Subversion release on the same machine without performing upgrade of the old one. It's possible. Just make sure to install both into a different prefix. E.g. if you build from source, install both into separate prefixes: For 1.4.5: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/svn-1.4.5 For 1.6.9: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/svn-1.6.9 E.g. on my system I currently have two svn trunk builds, and one 1.5.x build (the branch from which the next 1.5 release will be made, if ever) and one svn-1.6.x build (the branch from which the next 1.6 release will be made) installed in my home directory: $ ls ~/svn/prefix apr/ httpd/ serf/svn-1.5.x/ svn-trunk/ bdb/ neon/sqlite/ svn-1.6.x/ svn-trunk2/ $ which svn /home/stsp/svn/prefix/svn-trunk/bin/svn If you use binary packages, the content of binary packages will probably overlap, e.g. both trying to install /usr/bin/svn. In this case you cannot install both at the same time (unless there is a way to install an RPM into a different directory than the root directory '/' -- I don't know if that's possible). Stefan

file:/// protocol based svn repository questions
Hi all, We're using SharpSVN.SvnRepositoryClient.CreateRepository to create file:/// protocol based svn repositories on shared Windows network drives. Can anyone tell me the exact permissions a Windows user will need to fully interact with the repository? We're recently run into a user that was able to lock a file but couldn't do a commit, the error indicated that the commit failed and a .tmp file couldn't be moved since it already existed in txn-current? The customer indicated that they had read and write access?? Also, I've seen quite a few posts on the Internet suggesting that sharing a file:/// protocol based svn repository is not recommended for multiple users and even discouraged. Can anyone confirm or refute this information? Thanks! Jeff

Can anyone confirm or refute this information? Very bad idea. When you do this, anyone can corrupt or even delete the whole repository with one errant keystroke. And you have no path-based authorization. If someone uses a newer client with the repository, older ones may not be able to read it. There /may/ be concurrency concerns as well, but I'm not 100% sure on that. Have a look at the final bullet point on http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.serverconfig.choosing.html Set up a proper SVN server, you'll be much better off.

Re: file:/// protocol based svn repository questions
You should NEVER use the file:// protocol unless you are the only person using the repository, and the repository is only accessible by you. The file:// protocol requires read and write permissions on all files in the repository for the user who is doing the committing. This means that instead of using Subversion commands, the user can munge the repository directly. For example, the user could copy the repository, manipulate the items in it, and then replace it with the munged copy. Even worse, if user bob does a commit, the version file is now owned by bob, and if the rights aren't setup correctly, only bob might be able to read and write that version. I don't know if there are concurrency issues, but I don't even use file:// when I am creating my own temporary repositories. I understand why you may not want to use Apache's http as your server. That can be a bit of a bear to setup. However, the svnserve server is quick and simple to setup. It is definitely easier to use than shared Windows directories and affords you full client/server protection. You should seriously consider not using the file:// protocol.

Can anyone tell me the exact permissions a Windows user will need to fully interact with the repository? We're recently run into a user that was able to lock a file but couldn't do a commit, the error indicated that the commit failed and a .tmp file couldn't be moved since it already existed in txn-current? The customer indicated that they had read and write access?? Also, I've seen quite a few posts on the Internet suggesting that sharing a file:/// protocol based svn repository is not recommended for multiple users and even discouraged. Can anyone confirm or refute this information? Thanks! Jeff -- David Weintraub qazw...@gmail.com
Documentation of historical URI feature
Hello, Comparing: http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.6.html#historical-uris http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.serverconfig.httpd.html#svn.serverconfig.httpd.extra.browsing (namely the box Can I View Older Revisions?) It seems the latter is out-of-date. Should I submit an issue at: http://subversion.apache.org/issue-tracker.html Regards, Craig McQueen
SVN 1.4.6 support exit codes
Hi, does SVN support exit codes. Suppose if I use svn merge in my shell script, will svn be able to return exit code 0 if the merge is successful. Thanks, Charan
