Re: Subversion 1.5 beta1, "malformed URL for repository" when merging over http

Hi devs,

Has there been any resolution to the issue below? I'm seeing the same
behaviour with 1.5.0-rc9 on our repository. That is, merge fails as follows:

D:\wc>svn merge -c9952 http://my.repo.server.name.com/svn/repo/branches/8.2
.
svn: Malformed URL for repository

The server name is made up but contains the correct number of components
(dots and slashes). If I say

D:\wc>svn merge -c9952 http://@my.repo.server.name.com/svn/repo/branches/8.2
.

then the command is executed correctly. Note that I don't even need to
specify a user name, just '@'.

This happens on Windows Vista x64 SP1. The server runs Apache 2.0.59 on
Windows 2003 Server. The repository and SVN server-side parts are both based
on Subversion 1.4.3. Neon is used.

BR,
Kari.
