Folks,
I could have either found a bug in the handling of input or a document
insufficiency. We have received a downstream bug:
https://github.com/websvnphp/websvn/issues/189
It boils down to this command:
# svn export -r 50 'file:///var/svn/Playground/me%40you.d/@' me@you.d.r50
svn: E200009: 'me@you.d.r50': a peg revision is not allowed here
I fail to see here that PATH1 is subject to PEGREV parsing:
# svn help export
export: Create an unversioned copy of a tree.
usage: 1. export [-r REV] URL[@PEGREV] [PATH]
2. export [-r REV] PATH1[@PEGREV] [PATH2]
1. Exports a clean directory tree from the repository specified by
URL, at revision REV if it is given, otherwise at HEAD, into
PATH. If PATH is omitted, the last component of the URL is used
for the local directory name.
Verified with:
# svn --version
svn, version 1.10.8 (r1899510)
compiled Jan 31 2023, 15:01:25 on amd64-portbld-freebsd12.4
and
# svn --version
svn, Version 1.14.2 (r1899510)
übersetzt am Jun 16 2023, um 09:25:07 auf amd64-portbld-freebsd12.4
This works:
# svn export -r 50 'file:///var/svn/Playground/me%40you.d/@' me@you.d.r50@
A me@you.d.r50
Exported revision 50.
Now the opposite:
# svn export -r 50 'file:///var/svn/Playground/me%40you.d/@' me@you.d.r50@99
svn: E200009: 'me@you.d.r50@99': a peg revision is not allowed here
this seems to be a safe bet to always append an @ to the PATH1:
# svn export -r 50 'file:///var/svn/Playground/hallo.c@' hallo.c@
A hallo.c
Export complete.
# ll hallo.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 104 2017-03-27 13:56 hallo.c
Any clarification is appreciated. JIRA doesn't contain anything useful.
