Re: Bug Report - 'SVN Update' on multiple folders may causes problems.

Thanks for the fast reply.

As far as i could tell, my repositories do actually have separate
id's.
I didn't configure the server myself. I'm using dreamhost who provide
an svn service.
When I create a repository it offers me a box to specify an id, and
the id's I entered are unique.

My 2 repositories of interest from my prior example:
http://feedback.dreamhosters.com/feedbacksvn/ (ID: "feedbacksvn")
http://fuji.dreamhosters.com/fujisvn/ (ID: "fujisvn")

The IDs shown are according to dreamhost's configuration tool; the
id's i entered when creating the repository.
I can provide a screenshot if it helps.

Is there perhaps another ID that dreamhost don't expost in their
configuration tool?
When you say 'UUID', do you mean a big long GUID style id? I haven't
seen anything like that in the configuration...
Perhaps i should take this up with them?

Thanks again,
- Manu
