This was absolutely not an XXE bug. I would rather say that SVN WebDAV implementation does not support refreshing locks, which forces you to specify "-putpref lockTimeout 0" on the XXE side. > > However, we now have a different bug: sometimes (unpredictably), after > someone shuts down XXE, the SVN server thinks they still have their files > locked. My guess is that the users who have this kind of problem happen to *kill* the XXE process. One can kill the XXE process by using Windows task manager of course, or may be, by shutting down Windows without exiting from XXE. > I then have to go in on the command line and type "svn unlock > --force..." to break the lock before anyone (including the original user) > can edit the file. > > We're still on XXE v5.1.1; I doubt that this is really an XXE bug because it never happens with other WebDAV servers.

I'll be glad to help if you provide me with an access to your WebDAV server. FYI, we have already installed an SVN WebDAV server in the past and it took us a couple of hours to make it work. This is too much work for us, just to end up proving that the problem does not come from XXE. -- XMLmind XML Editor Support List [email protected] http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xmleditor-support
