With the pre-built CollabNet binaries from https://ctf.open.collab.net/sf/go/rel2972, I get an abnormal program termination, if the URL is not valid:
D:\temp>svn --version svn, version 1.7.0-rc2 (Release Candidate 2) compiled Aug 26 2011, 11:47:28 D:\temp>"C:\program files (x86)\Subversion\svn.exe" checkout file://d:\temp\test\repo.svn d:\temp\wc.svn svn: E235000: In file '..\..\..\subversion\libsvn_client\checkout.c' line 94: assertion failed (svn_uri_is_canonical(url , pool)) This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information. -- Best regards, Marc Strapetz ============= syntevo GmbH http://www.syntevo.com http://blog.syntevo.com
