RE: Check out problem because of alleged problematic URL
I'm using neon 0.28.3. According to the release history it doesn't seem to be
particularly old.

That error message comes from neon's ne_uri_parse(). With a client using
serf, or another version of neon, the error might disappear.
[[[

if (ne_uri_parse(url, uri)

ne_uri_free(uri);
return svn_error_createf(SVN_ERR_RA_ILLEGAL_URL, NULL,
_(URL '%s' is malformed or the
scheme or host or path is missing), url);
}
]]]
Reading that snippet of code, I don't understand why the error would be
triggered. It says it should only occur if the host, path or scheme are null.
In the URL supplied by the user, it seems clear that the host is meant to be
ada-srp, the path is /kr/svn/trunk/ kr_repos and the scheme is http: so I
don't see the problem.
What version of neon are you using, Benjamin?

Add files mantaining originale file timestamp
Hi, I'm adding files to a repository. I would like that add command maintains original file timestamp, instead of assign commit time. Is it possible ? Thanks, Andrea

Re: Any data compression between server and client?
Thanks for your reply. My company has developers aboard accessing our SVN server through VPN and they're always complaining that transmissions are very slow. That's why I'm trying to find where the problem is. I was pretty sure there's compression and I'd like to dismiss this as a possible cause. But when I want to confirm it on Tigris foum, I got a rather unfriendly reply: http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4061dsMessageId=2616471 Is there any difference between SVN and Subversion, btw? TIA On Fri, Jun 4, 2010 at 21:12, Mark Phippard markp...@gmail.com wrote: Subversion compresses the data it sends over the wire. Using mod_deflate can get you a little extra compression on the entire HTTP request. However, there is a huge memory leak when mod_deflate and Subversion are used together and a client that does not support deflate is used to access the repository. So it is best to stay away from using mod_deflate and the benefits are relatively small since Subversion already uses compression.

Subversion 1.7 introduces a new version of the protocol which removes most of the latencies, and should speed things up significantly. OK, waiting impatiently for that version. :) I was pretty sure there's compression and I'd like to dismiss this as a possible cause. But when I want to confirm it on Tigris foum, I got a rather unfriendly reply: http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4061dsMessageId=2616471 I think the gist of that message was please let us know where you got such information and please read the documentation before asking questions answered therein. Both are reasonable requests, though could potentially have been framed better. You are must more likely to get assistance if you demonstrate you have done your own research prior to asking questions here. If you read the other replies from that gist (or whatever you call it), he implies that there's no compression in SVN/Subversion. I HAD DONE my research prior to ask the question, but it's impossible to demonstrate that fact. I had searched through a lot of docs. If he could plug into my mind, I could show that moron how much time I had spent on this matter.
Re: Huge Problem
You don't provide must detail, but I'm going to take a blind stab at it: Check the ownership and permissions of the files you restored. These files should be owned by the Subversion server user. If you're using Apache's http, they should be owned by the Apache user (something like apache, http, or wwwrun.) If you're using svnserve, the files should be owned by the user running svnserve. Also make sure the files are read/writable by that user. Normally, the permissions should be 644, but if you're using ssh+svn, they should be 664 before the group needs read/write permission.

Is there an authenticated no-op in subversion?
I'm working on a system to interact with subversion automatically. Some of the repositories in question work over https, and this requires authentication for certain actions. I would love to separate authentication from action. Is there a way to perform an authenticated no-op (which would fail if not authenticated)? If this did exist, then I could first try this, and perform the hairier actions only once I'm sure I'm authenticated. The best we've been able to come up with at work so far is to do a propset on a revision property. Thanks, -Dan Bentley

Authentication = user is who they say they are. Authorization = user has permission to do X (user may or may not be authenticated), which can (and often does) depend on both authz configuration and repository hooks. Authentication can be covered simply by disallowing any non-authenticated write access. Predicting authorization is more complicated unless you can safely if test X works, real operation Y should also work. If all you really need is in fact an authenticated no-op, you should be able to run any read operation, which - if you are disallowing anonymous access entirely - will only work when already authenticated.
