svn:externals rights. Problems in svn:external "chain".
Date: 2007-03-20 15:48:19 CET
Hello Developers of TortoiseSVN,
I have digged a lot of forums and sites, but can't find resolution for my problem. So I think it is an Issue of all svn clients.
Please answer on my email or post it to FlySpray issue tracker.
If additinal information required I will add it with glad.
I think I found a bug in TortoiseSVN!

TortoiseSVN 1.4.3, Build 8996 - 32 Bit |
Update to the current version. Reports for older versions will be ignored. |

Can't find anything proper. |
Check the Changelog file from /trunk/ and see if your bug has already been fixed. (use 'guest' as username and '' as password) |
|
Done. TortoiseSVN 1.4.3, Build 8996 - 32 Bit |
If possible, update to the latest nightly build and see if the bug is still there. You can find the link to the nightly builds on our download page. |
|
Can't find. |
Check the mailing list archive. Maybe someone else already reported the same bug you're seeing, and if so that bug might be already fixed. |
|
Nope. |
Check the issue tracker. Maybe your bug has already been filed there. |
|
Haven't it. |
If you've got a zip file from our crashreporting tool, send it to crashreports_at_tortoisesvn.tigris.org. Note that we don't answer mails there. Other kinds of bugreports on that list will be deleted without being read. |

Summury:
Q&A:
Q: what you did?
A: User tried to get repository with linked svn:external chain.
He hasn't access to all tiers of chain.
Q: what you wanted to happen?
A: I thought that some tiers will be passed.
And user update whole chain except tiers he hasn't access.
Q: and what actually happened?
A: Chain is order depend. Update stops at first tier that user haven't access.
Q: why you think it is TortoiseSVN issue?
A: I have the same for svn.exe and sending same info to them. I ask to check sources for svn_server...
Server can't determinate is it direct update or external only clients use svn:external property.
So I think it is a problem of SVN and TortoiseSVN clients of svnServer on 90 percent. (never can't be sure on 100% :) )
Detailed Information:
I have trunk folder with svn:external
********************
_BREW svn+ssh://SVNc/QM_BREW/trunk
_Symbian svn+ssh://SVNc/QM_Symbian/trunk
_WM svn+ssh://SVNc/QM_WM/trunk
_J2ME svn+ssh://SVNc/QM_J2ME/trunk
Sumo svn+ssh://SVNc/QM_Sumo/trunk
Poker svn+ssh://SVNc/QM_Poker/trunk
********************
I have access to all repository. But another user have access only to some of them (QM_Sumo, QM_Brew, QM_Symbian) repository.
As result I can do "update" correctly.
But another user can't do update at all, update stops at QM_WM and user receive nothing. :(
See Image
Via conso;e it looks like:
*****
>svn.exe update D:\***\Projects\QM\
Fetching external item into 'D:\***\Projects\QM\_BREW'
External at revision 1.
Fetching external item into 'D:\***\Projects\QM\_Symbian'
External at revision 1.
Fetching external item into 'D:\***\Projects\QM\_WM'
svn: Not authorized to open root of edit operation
*****
I think now it works as:
Update until exception thrown. In this case user MUST manually checkout each repository in svn:external.
I think it should work as:
Try update each repository and in case of problems externals repository not updated. But all of them are tried.
Waiting for your answer!
