SVN 1.1rc2 issue

From: Jeff Squyres <jsquyres_at_lam-mpi.org>
Date: 2004-08-25 13:00:16 CEST

Greetings. I am testing with SVN v1.1rc2 on a Linux MDK 9.2 system and
am running into a problem when trying to have multiple users share a
single WC.. This is issue 1509
(http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1509), and is
supposedly fixed in SVN v1.1. However, I'm unable to get it to work.
Am I doing something wrong?

I configured subversion 1.1rc2 as follows:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-static --disable-shared

I then ran the following sequence of commands (easier to follow these
than for me to provide a lengthy textual description, but I'll throw in
a few comments along the way):

# Hmm. Those 444 files look like they're going to be problematic for
# other members of the same unix group.
# Just to verify that it works for this user, try an "svn up" (even
though
# this will be a no-op, because there's nothing in the repo).
[6:44] queeg:~/svn/test % svn up
At revision 0.
# Everything works ok. Let's switch to another user.
[6:44] queeg:~/svn/test % su
Password:
[root@queeg test]# su testuser
# Now let's put that user in the same group ("testgrp")
[testuser@queeg test]$ newgrp testgrp
# Double check that we're actually in testgrp
[testuser@queeg test]$ touch foo
[testuser@queeg test]$ ls -l foo
-rw-r--r-- 1 testuser testgrp 0 Aug 25 06:44 foo
# Yep -- we are a new user and we're in the testgrp group.
[testuser@queeg test]$ rm -f foo
# Ok, the big test:
[testuser@queeg test]$ svn up
svn: Can't move '.svn/tmp/entries' to '.svn/entries': Operation not
permitted
[testuser@queeg test]$
-----

It looks like several files in .svn are still 444, which prohibits
users in the same group from overwriting them.

...or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!
