Good Day good people,
Problem summary:
The XML parser is choking on NULL dates (or at least they show up as blank =
in Explorer. In the command line they are actually "11/18/1617 09:11 PM=
") on the Windows XP client side.
Client Description:
Windows XP Home Edition
TortoiseSVN 1.0.8, Build 1430, UNICODE
Subversion 1.0.6, (r10360)
apr 0.9.5
apr-iconv 0.9.5
apr-utils 0.9.5
berkeley db 4.2.52
neon 0.24.7
OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004
zlib 1.2.1
Server Description:
Subversion 1.0.5 as a module of Apache 2, but I don't believe that this pro=
blem is even reaching the server. I think this is a client issue.
More Detail:
I am using the TortoiseSVN client on Windows XP to connect to a linux SVN s=
erver. I use this to keep track of a ColdFusion website I am building. =
Some files I have that I want to check in to SVN have modified dates that=
are blank... or at least they appear to be blank when I view them in Exp=
lorer, though the command line gives me a date of "11/18/1617 09:11 PM".=
I think that is the date used by XP to represent a NULL date. When I f=
irst check these files into SVN, Tortoise (I don't think the error is Tor=
toise because it is simply running the SVN client at this point, and runn=
ing cleanup, where I actually get an error message, says the error messag=
e is from Subversion) chokes (stops processing the files - it actually d=
egrades quite nicely - no nasty error messages or such) because it can't =
understand this date and all files below this one are not given their ext=
ra icons. I understand that it cant understand the wacky date - they are=
supposed to be NULL dates, and the date is actually before the Linux Epo=
ch, but it would be nice if the client could work through this and keep o=
n going. =20
Workaround:=20
Touch all the files and then hand-edit the entries file to have more sane d=
ates in it, and then run the cleanup. If I run cleanup before touching t=
he files, I get an error message:=20
Subversion reported an error while doing a cleanup!
XML Parser failed in '<path of file>'
Date conversion failed
