RE: Help!! About to give up on subversion...

Thanks for your reply. My WinSSHD is configured to have E: as the root
because it indicates that it executes "svnserve -t" in E:\svn_home.

Unfortunately encryption is a requirement for us for security reasons.

I think the problem is the url syntax. I assume you are using the drive
letter because the repository is not on C:. I believe svh+ssh:// on windows
will assume C: as the root of any path you specify after the hostname. It
definitely will not work using E:// in the url because the colon and double
slash aren't a valid URL syntax. Perhaps WinSSHD can be configured to use E:

as the root for users. Otherwise, you might have to put your repository on
C:.

I have had good experiences with the svrany.exe tool from the windows
resource kits and calling svnserve -d -r
<driveletter>:\<path_to_repository>. If SSH is not a requirement, I think
you'll have better luck if you drop it.

Apache on Windows also works very well. If encryption over the network is
your goal, mod_ssl does work on Windows.

Hope that helps,

Kevin
