Hi cmpilato and others,
This is what I'm trying to explain.
Lets say I have created a repo in C:\svnroot with
c:\>svnadmin create C:\svnroot
Next I switch to my svn sandbox to import my HelloWorld sources:
c:\svnbox>svn import file://localhost/D:\svnroot . HelloWorld
The REPOS_URL given above, (file://localhost/D:\svnroot), isn't handled
correctly on WIN32. While "splitting" the absoulte path portion of the
REPOS_URL something goes wrong. The absoulte path above will be splitted to
/D:\svnroot which is an invalid filename on WIN32.
The way I patched this was to get rid of the heading / from the absolute
path for WIN32 builds. I'm not sure though if this is the correct way to
solve the problem.
I'm glad to see that eventually WIN32 will be supported. I know by
experiance that its a pain in the butt to keep the WIN32 build up to date
since svn is a moving target. I have managed it and have all subsystems
compilable even though all parts are not working yet. Once you have time I
can contribute fresh patches! Meanwhile I'm learning how e.g. apache has set
up its WIN32 builds.
What's the status of the mod_dav_svn subsystem? I crashing big time on NT
and I can't get it working on my linux box either...
\Magnus - Who's keeping the faith :-)
