Re: svn+ssh on cygwin/openssh

I had a similar problem from NT4 client using .37 (I'm still downloading
v1.0, thank you!!, and happy birthday Karl and Sander!). Similar in that
'svn list svn+ssh://host/path' worked but I could not get 'svn commit' to
work.

I fixed the problem I had by doing the following on my NT4 client.

1) save .svn/entries to a backup copy
2) edit .svn/entries and change
   FROM: 'url = svn://host/path'
   TO : 'url = svn+ssh://host/path'

I have the sense that it's not a 'good thing' to directly edit this file,
but it worked for me (and 'svn list svn+ssh://host/path' still worked
fine).
