403 from server should not cause traceback

Binary package hint: bzr-svn

This error occurs when I try to check out one subversion branch from a repo where I don't have read access to the repo root. It seems like this bug should have already been fixed in bug #409668. The repository isn't public, but if there are any patches anyone would like to try out, I'll be available on the IRC and XMPP nicks listed on my launchpad page.

Marking the Ubuntu bug as invalid, since I'm running the stable release of bzr-svn, not the version in Ubuntu 10.10.

the only thing we can really do here is improve the error message to not include a backtrace.

That's disappointing, but I guess if there's nothing we can do, there's
nothing we can do. This seems to be a common way to use SVN, and it'd be
good if bazaar could handle it.

Can you explain a bit how you would use this repository under SVN? The
server gives a 403 error, there's not really a good way to work around
that.

Cheers,

I get a 403 error at the root of the repo: /repos/hayden. Notice from
the command line that I'm trying to check
out /repos/hayden/ekiden-svn/trunk. I do have permissions to that
directory, and can log into the web server and click around and view
files in that directory. I just don't have permissions to the root
folder of the repo (and adding permissions to the root folder of the
repo fixes this issue).

In SVN, I can successfully check out just the repository I want, even
though I don't have read permissions to the root directory.

This is similar to the bug I linked to in the original report -- it
seems to be the same behavior. That bug is marked as fixed, and I'm
using the version that it's marked as fixed in, so I'm not sure what's
going on.

Ah, ok.

The other bug (I don't have the bug # here) is fixed as much as is
possible; you do have to set some extra options to prevent bzr-svn from
accessing the repository root that should be documented there.

Cheers,
