Re: svn commit comment for "svn log <file>" is not shown, if the commit includes any files I don't have read access for

Hi,

thanks for explanation and fast response. And apologies for posting this
into dev@, was quite sure this was not a "user" level issue ;)

I guess only way to work around this is then to have 2 different commits
resulting in 2 different revision numbers. Inconvenient (when committing and
using CI - there are revisions we are knowingly breaking) but doable.

Is having an option on SVN server side to configure this unrealistic.. or
should I add a request?

Thanks,
Monty
