Error with svn get to https repository

[Scott Henson]

I was trying to branch an svn repository and I got the following dump. bzr 0.14rc1 and bzr-svn 0.3.

sjh@wildfire:/tmp/tmp.qJqRd18485$ bzr branch svn+https://svn.lcsee.wvu.edu/users/scotth

I can duplicate this using bzr-svn-0.3.2, patched svn-1.3.2 python bindings and bzr 0.15.0 on Gentoo Linux: (from .bzr.log and output)

Please provide a publicly accessible branch that demonstrates this bug so I can reproduce it.

[John Whitley (whitley)]

Using bzr.dev (pre-0.19, revno 2671) and bzr-svn 0.4.0, I'm seeing this error with these commands on the public repository for the Typo blogging software (http://www.typosphere.org/):

bzr svn-import http://svn.typosphere.org/typo

bzr branch http://svn.typosphere.org/typo/branches/branch_4_1

It's probably worth contacting the Typo developers to see if you can get details of their SVN HTTP setup.

Thanks for the comments.

This bug seems to be quite common for people using http://, so upgrading
the importance.

  importance high

[John Whitley (whitley)]

Minor fix to my prior comment, the example branch name I grabbed was incorrect due to an error on Typo's wiki. The correct branch command is:

bzr branch http://svn.typosphere.org/typo/branches/release_4_1_x typo-4.1

[Jelmer Vernooij (jelmer)]

Ah, found it! These repositories can't be accessed at the root:

ganieda:~% svn info
http://svn.typosphere.org/typo/branches/release_4_1_x
...
Repository Root: http://svn.typosphere.org/typo
...

ganieda:~% svn info http://svn.typosphere.org/typo/
subversion/libsvn_ra_neon/util.c:1210: (apr_err=175011)
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/typo'
subversion/libsvn_ra_neon/util.c:480: (apr_err=175011)
svn: Repository moved permanently to 'http://svn.typosphere.org/typo/';
please relocate

Not really sure what to do about that - I guess some evil http-specific
may work around it.

This is now fixed in the 0.4 branch. It is now possible to check out
http://svn.typosphere.org/typo/branches/release_4_1_x without problems.

'bzr svn-import' still doesn't work on that repository, but there is no
way to make it work properly since 'svn ls
http://svn.typosphere.org/typo/' also doesn't work.

I'm seeing a recurrence of the problem described in bug 80553 with bzr-svn 0.4.5 and bzr 1.0 on MacOS X 10.5.1. The root repository where I'm experiencing this hosts a number of projects, some of which are not public is currently private but the 'gt' portion should hopefully be publically available in the next couple of days. bzr-svn is otherwise working fine and I am able to successfully pull projects from other subversion repositories however (e.g., from googlecode.com, etc.).

Or is it that the root should be https://papyrus.usask.ca/svn/dept/*gt* ? ('*' used to indicate additional component)
