For the sixth or seventh time on this topic, +1 on 'do nothing.'
As Kevin posted a while back (who ought to know given who he works for and
what he works on), the MS dev tools team is well aware of this and it'll work
itself out eventually. For those with a short memory, Kevin posted this the
last time this thread came up in December (*just* DECEMBER!):
<http://www.contactor.se/~dast/svn/archive-2003-12/0498.shtml>
While I thought there might be some IIS settings that could be tweaked
(AllowDotInPath in urlscan and AllowRestrictedChars in http.sys settings), I
re-read Kevin's posts and am fairly certainly there's not much we can do
outside removing FPSE or changing the admin path.
I'll also point out that MS's site says 'Whidbey' will be out in 2004. Scott
Guthrie (project lead for ASP.NET) gives an even closer approximation:
<http://weblogs.asp.net/chrisgarty/archive/2004/02/16/73455.aspx>
# The first public beta will be released in June
# There will be releases before the first public beta with limited availability
# Second beta release will be after issues from first public beta are resolved
# There will be a “go-live license” available for the second beta
So, all of this leads me to +1 on doing nothing once again. I'm not even sure
that SVN 1.1 would beat out the Whidbey Public Beta in June. If it's *that*
urgent, someone can recompile their SVN toolchain themselves - they
*obviously* have a suitable compiler if they have Visual Studio installed. --
