Hi there.
After spending a lot of time trying to lock down a specific ssh key to a
filesystem root I guess that there's a problem with tortoiseplink.exe.
What I expected:
I wanted to use Tortoise to access a repository on a server of mine,
limited to a root directory both for security reasons and because I'm lazy
and didn't want to type /a/full/path/to/a/repo.
Where I started:
I had a working putty session that defined
- the address
- the username
- the keyfile
for a given name. "Trac", in my case. Looking at
svn+ssh://Trac/home/admin/darklajid/svn/tis/mailroom worked and showed me
the up-to-now empty folders trunk, tags, branches (the repository is shiny
and new).
What failed:
When I chanced the authorized_keys2 from
no-agent-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,command="/usr/bin/svnserve -t
--tunnel-user=bpodszun" ssh-rsa AAAAB...
to
no-agent-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,command="/usr/bin/svnserve -r
/home/admin/darklajid/svn/tis -t --tunnel-user=bpodszun" ssh-rsa AAAAB...
I couldn't browse svn+ssh://Trac/mailroom with the Repo-Browser:
Error * No repository found in 'svn+ssh://Trac/mailroom'
What I tried:
After asking for help in irc://irc.freenode.org/#svn I started cygwin and
tried lots of combinations with the commandline client.
Working SVN_SSH wrapper scripts:
ssh -i keyfile -l username $* <-- Cygwin SSH
path/to/plink -i keyfile -l username $* <-- Plink
path/to/plink -load $* <-- PLink w/ session definition
I couldn't get it to work with tortoise, though. I tried SVN_SSH wrapper
as:
path/to/tortoiseplink -i keyfile -l username $*
path/to/tortoiseplink -load $*
My conclusion:
Since the repository is accessible from the commandline and from your GUI
as long as the key is not restricted to a svnserve --root I doubt that
it's a configuration problem. I can access the repository just fine even
with that option set (using the wrapper above), so there's no problem with
my setup of the server, the putty session, the permissions etc.
I therefor blame the tortoisesvn version of plink and guess I discovered a
bug?
