Hi svn team! since many years i'm using subversion and it's a great piece of software. Thanks for all the work!
I've tried svn1.8-rc2 and it does not work as smooth as with all the previous upgrades. Scenario is the following: * server * apache * authentication: htdigest * mod_dav_svn * svn 1.7.8 * about 10 repositories (individually configured using SVNPath) * authorization: path-based, one shared svn_authz-file (using [repository*:/path]) * client * svn 1.7.9 * everything working fine (especially path-based authorisation) After upgrading the *client* to svn1.8-rc2 a simple svn info <url> gives the following error: $>svn info http://domain:port/path svn: E120190: Error running context: An error occurred during authentication Playing around with svnauthz validate (server side) says that everything is fine. I tried the following: * use svn17x fetch a wc -> ok * print svn info -> ok * upgrade the wc using svn180-rc2 -> ok * print svn info -> ok * svn up -> the same error as with svn info <url> There saw a new line in svn info output: Relative URL: ^/path It seems to me that the svn180-rc2 client sends an url the svn179 server does not understand and rejects. Is this intended behavior? If yes, how to share than an authz file between repositories? I hope this feedback helps to make subversion a tiny little better. With best regards, Klaus
