RE: How to set repository root in SSH tunnel mode on Windows?

Thanks for your response.

I have tried option 1 and 2, but that doesn't seem to help either. In fact when I moved my repository to "C:\Documents and Settings\username", I still got the same error. Moreover this is not an acceptable solution because, if there are multiple users, it does not make sense to put the repository in one user's home directory.

I have even gone thru the Subversion code to get a clue regarding how to go about solving it, but to no avail. I sincerely hope that one of the developers can help before I give up... (Posting in the dev@subversion group did not get me any response).

Any help is highly appreciated,

Thanks,

Himanshu

I think the problem is that the repository and the home directory for the
user (i.e c:\Documents and Setting\username) logged through SSH
must reside in the same drive in Windows.
So, you have two solutions:
1) Move your repository the same drive that the home directory
2) Change the user home directory to reside in the same drive as the
repository

I think the first is easier but it's up to you to decide...
I'm sorry don't know now exactly the procedure to change an user's
home directory in Windows.
