Hi Stefan, using svn 1.7 + serf to connect to repository I get another error:
svn: E175009: XML parsing failed: (411 Length Required) As to your second request, my provider supports only HTTP. Btw, you can try by your own: svn checkout http://testzanza.unfuddle.com/svn/testzanza_test/ user: test pass: test Thanks, Arrigo From: Stefan Sperling <s...@elego.de> To: arrigo.zane...@exorint.it, Cc: users@subversion.apache.org Date: 20/06/2013 16:22 Subject: Re: Blocker: svn 1.8 assertion failed On Thu, Jun 20, 2013 at 03:29:00PM +0200, arrigo.zane...@exorint.it wrote: > The problem is related to SVN itself. Tried also wandisco svn > distribution: same error. Thanks. In this case this is probably a problem with the new default HTTP client access layer which uses serf. See http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.8.html#neon-deleted Can you please try the following: - Check out from the same repository URL using a 1.7 client with the following option to enable serf in 1.7: svn checkout --config-option 'servers:global:http-library=serf' Whether or not this checkout fails in the same way as in 1.8 would be an interesting data point. - Check out from the same repository using a 1.8 client and a non-HTTP URL,svn :// or svn+ssh:// This is to confirm that the problem is limited to clients using serf. Thanks!
