2008-10-15 05:49:36 Vincent Ladeuil bzr: statusexplanation While the number of dupes can be seen as a launchpad bug, it is indeed a sign that we should fix it rather sooner than later. As discussed on IRC with jelmer, the solution seems to be that bzr should access the svn credentials and be able to give them back to bzr-svn so that it fails (more gracefully) when probing the server and let bzr-svn probe successfully. For now, bzr-svn can't probe because the bzr probe aborts. Work has begin at lp:~bzr/bzr/pluggable-credential-stores. The idea is to allow bzr-svn to plug a credential store enabling bzr to access svn credentials.

There is progress, even if too slow for everybody taste, sorry for that. Jelmer, I think bzr now provides enough support for bzr-svn to provide the credentials to bzr, is there something I can do to help here ? The bug is still open as I want to have a working svn solution for it and also reports a more user-friendly error (along the lines of: connection error, check your credentials instead of the 401 unexpected error).

If I do: % bzr branch https://svn.enfoldsystems.com/internal bzr: ERROR: Invalid http response for https://svn.enfoldsystems.com/internal/.bzr/branch-format: Unable to handle http code 401: expected 200 or 404 for full response. It seems the 401 is confusing things. If I supply svn+: % bzr branch svn+https://svn.enfoldsystems.com/internal The svn+ syntax is deprecated, use https://svn.enfoldsystems.com/internal instead. <https://svn.enfoldsystems.com:443> Enfold Systems mhammond password: I enter the password and the pull begins. if there is no username in the URL and the remote server sends a 401, bzr currently just prints the error it received back. It would be nice if it could prompt the user for a username rather than printing the (confusing) error message.
