Users cannot reliably view SVN log messages remotely

Hi all, I've got a distant user who cannot reliably view the SVN log messages Using TortoiseSVN. If he 'refreshes', he can view the SVN log messages fine. Also, checkouts work fine. Other users at his (distant) site seem to have the same issue, but I can't reproduce the issue here and haven't h

How to best manage authorization after tag/branch creation?

2010-10-12 Thread Shaun Pinney
Hello all, We've configured Apache to restrict access to certain directories on our trunk (n.b. via AuthUserFile in httpd.conf). The problem is now I've created a tag from our trunk and found that the permissions don't 'automatically' transfer during creation of the tag. Obviously, this is becau

How to determine high-level SVN actions from low-level Apache logs?

2010-10-07 Thread Shaun Pinney
Hello all, I'd like to inspect the Apache log files (e.g. access_log) to determine SVN activities such as commit, update, svnsync, etc. How can I do this? Thanks, Shaun

Merging: Noisy branch commits and missing mergeinfo

2010-09-29 Thread Shaun Pinney
Hello all, We've found that committing a branch after a merge shows many files modified, even if they were not changed on the trunk. We'd like a way to reduce the noise. Also, we've like a way to ensure merge info is not accidentally omitted by the user. I'll give the back- ground below: A whi
