Re: Error - 411 Length Required (on Commit)

2013-06-25 Thread Thorsten Schöning
Guten Tag Dave Steckler,
am Dienstag, 25. Juni 2013 um 00:35 schrieben Sie:

 How would one upgrade to svn 1.8.1 as it exists within TortoiseSVN?
 [...]For example, I have no idea what serf,
 amongst all the libraries used by svn, even is. 

Simply wait for the next release of TortoiseSVN or downgrade to an
older version. Everything else is really much work if you're new to
it.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Thorsten Schöning

Re: Error - 411 Length Required (on Commit)

2013-06-25 Thread Philip Martin
I think this is another instance of a proxy not supporting chunked
Transfer-Encoding. For a commit to a 1.7 server the client sends a
chunked POST, the proxy responds with a 411, and the client shows the
error.  For a commit to a 1.6 server the client sends a chunked
PROPFIND, the proxy responds with a 411, the client fails to notice the
411 but still gives an error since the response doesn't contain the
requested properties.  This will probably be fixed in Subversion's
libsvn_ra_serf rather than serf itself.

Daniel Shahaf d...@daniel.shahaf.name writes:

 This quite resembles an issue reported last week which is intended to be
 fixed in serf 1.2.2.  It's possible you could upgrade just your serf
 libraries, not svn as well (though, since you likely use a binary
 package, just upgrading to svn 1.8.1 packages that include serf 1.2.2
 might be easiest).

 Sorry, don't have a thread link handy...

 This is the right mailing list to report issues with TortoiseSVN.
 However, as the problem also occurs with the standard subversion
 command line client then the problem has to lie within the subversion
 library rather than any of the TortoiseSVN code. In case you are not
 aware, TortoiseSVN along with all other subversion clients is built on
 top of the standard subversion library which is provided by the
 subversion project itself. TSVN just provides the user-friendly front
 end.
 
 You can contact the subversion team on users at subversion.apache.org.

WebDAV support in future versions of SVN server?

2013-06-25 Thread Thomas Harold
Is it still a long-term goal to maintain the ability to mount a SVN 
repository as a WebDAV folder?


Based on this message from 2009:

http://subversion.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=462dsMessageId=1180976

It sounds like the SVN server is still planning on supporting WebDAV 
clients, but moving the svn client away from talking WebDAV to the HTTP 
server?


But before I go and roll out WebDAV to our users, I'd like to make sure 
that SVN isn't going to drop WebDAV client support in the next few years.

WebDAV clients will be supported until at least Subversion 2.0 arrives
because we won't break compatibility with any existing features until
the Subversion 2.0 release. Any Subversion 1.x server must speak WebDAV
due to this compatibility policy.

So far, there are no plans whatsoever to jump to version 2.0. And even
if we did, dropping support for old features is merely an option at that
point. So WebDAV support might stay alive even in Subversion 2.0 and later.

Thanks for your first diagnostic,

I don't have all the details, the issue is part of an FreeBSD PR where this 
happened to a user.
Since I have the same repository in sync (but with subversion 1.7.10) I've 
taken a look into the file which breaks the sync for the user with subversion 
1.8.

It is the following FreeBSD PR:

The background is this: In my repo I run a vendor branch keeping track

same repo I also vc a collection of web sites, which are all tracked
against the vendor branches.

On Thursday evening I upgraded to 1.7.10, and on Friday I made my first
vendor update with the new version, updating Drupal 7 code, using the
svn_load_dirs script:

svn_load_dirs.pl -t drupal-7.x-dev_2013-June-21 -svn_username 
-svn_password  svn://svn..com/www/vendor/d7-core current

and as from what I can judge nothing seems to be wrong with the output
and the commits are done. I can post the output in case it's needed/wanted.

I then (try to) make the merge operation above in the web root of one
site resulting in the error.

Subversion is running on a Gentoo Linux server using svnserve. I also
work with this repo from a Windows workstation using TSVN and using the
TSVN repo browser I can clearly see that the 'not found' file (which
actually is a dir) is present.

'revision 4124' is the last revision in repo created by the load_dirs
script.

Well, I don't know where to start looking as I can't really see anything
is wrong, except for the error message, but hopefully someone else can

Re: Merge gives E160013 Error after upgrade to svn-1.7.10

2013-06-25 Thread Joakim Schramm
More information. I now tried to make a merge deeper in the wc, this 
time updating a module in drupal, same procedure with svn_load_dirs and 
guess what - that worked! http://pastebin.com/hVvpw4cv


So from what I understand can't orient itself from the root of the wc, 
but well deeper into it. Or it might as well that it has to do with that 
the core files and modules have different paths in the repo 
/www/vendor/d7-core vs /www/vendor/d7-modules

 0x18 is ^X, the ASCII control code for CANCEL. Seems to be working as

 No more seriously though, it sure looks like a bug. 0x18 is a perfectly
 legal UTF-8 encoding of the unicode character U+0018. Every US-ASCII
 character is encoded as itself in UTF-8 and the first 128 Unicode code
 points are exactly US-ASCII.


 Works for me:

 % svnadmin create r   
 % mv =( printf 'K 1\nx\nV 1\n\030\nEND\n'  0 ) r/db/revprops/0/0
 mv: try to overwrite `r/db/revprops/0/0', overriding mode 0444 
 (r--r--r--)? y

 That last command should have been (equivalently, but without
 munging internals):

 % ln -s =true r/hooks/pre-revprop-change
 % svn ps -F =(printf '\030') --revprop -r0 x file://$PWD/r
 property 'x' set on repository revision 0


 It still works when I use svn:log rather than x as the property
 name.

 Thanks for your first diagnostic,

 I don't have all the details, the issue is part of an FreeBSD PR where this 
 happened to a user.
 Since I have the same repository in sync (but with subversion 1.7.10) I've 
 taken a look into the file which breaks the sync for the user with 
 subversion 1.8.

 It is the following FreeBSD PR:
 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=179760

 
 So it indeed is FreeBSD - I thought the revnums looked familiar.
 
 I'll note the path of least resistance to getting svnsync to work is to
 ask someone with access to edit the log message on svn.freebsd.org.

 Additional I've ask the OP to join the users@ list so you can get more 
 details from first hand.
 

Hi Daniel,

it turns out the OP was not using subversion from ports and the original apache 
subversion 1.7.x/1.8 has not this issue.

Sorry for the noise and thanks for your help!
