RE: Assertion Failure dialogs appear when attempting to open repository with bad URL

                Hi Dean,

There is not much we can do about this. The Subversion apis require that you pass canonical urls, while the client (TortoiseSVN) that you use doesn’t canonicalize the url before passing it to this api.

As the TortoiseSVN client is built by a different opensource project than Subversion, we can’t really help you… you should really contact the TortoiseSVN team if you want a solution… They should filter the url and provide a proper error instead of passing it to the api.

You already know that the url is bad, so we can’t help you there. file:/// <file:///\\> urls require an absolute or at least rooted local path, which in this case isn’t provided.

                Bert

Upgraded & tested with same bad URL ... same result - although assertion error now occurs on a different line.

Badly formatted URL: "file:///c:Software/SourceCodeRepository <file:///c:Software\SourceCodeRepository> "
