RE: svnserve 64bit losing history (sort of)

[Please post messages to this list in plain html, to allow answering in

CollabNetSubversion-server-1.6.1-2.win32.exe is a 32 bit server application,
which you run on your 64 bit server.

Collabnet doesn't provide Windows X64 versions of their (server)
applications (yet).

The only Windows X64 svnserve publicly available is available via the
SlikSVN client distribution.

By default svnserve doesn't setup authentication, in which case the author
will not be set. (I don't know why you don't see dates or comments).

Subject: svnserve 64bit losing history (sort of)

I have isolated some strange behavior to svnserve on x86_64 windows, but
this needs to be verified by another person before I can submit a bug
report. So if anyone is willing to give this a test, please let us know
your feedback.

I believe these are the steps to reproduce:

1. Install CollabNetSubversion-server-1.6.1-2.win32.exe on Windows
Server 2003 R2 x86_64. (Or any 64bit OS?)

2. Run svnserve as a service (optionally, don't even install apache)

3. Install any 32bit client you wish, on another machine. In this
case, it's my XP Pro (fully updated) laptop, and several clients.
(TortoiseSVN-1.6.2, TortoiseSVN-1.5.9, cygwin svn version 1.6.1)

4. Using any of the 32bit clients, try to do "svn log" on
svn://server/somerepo

5. The result is:
(no author) | (no date) For every single entry
and also no comment.

6. But try the same thing . "svn log" from any x86_64 client, and all
the info appears just fine. (In this case, I used
TortoiseSVN-1.5.9.15518-x64-svn-1.5.6.msi and
TortoiseSVN-1.6.2.16344-x64-svn-1.6.2.msi)

Important points are:

. My 32bit clients work fine when talking to other servers . but not
this x64 server.

. My x86 server works fine when talking to a 64bit client.

. Also, if I run apache on the x64 server, then my 32bit clients
work fine via http://

. The problem is isolated to svnserve, 64bit server with 32bit
client. (Perhaps also 32bit server with 64bit client? I didn't test this
scenario.)
