Max,
Looks like I was a bit premature in being happy about the cygwin
version. Initial testing with the following file:/// access command did
not work.
$ svn ls file:///ap
svn: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL
svn: Unable to open repository 'file:///ap'
The native Windows build does work still:
$ ./svn ls file:///ap
t3/
test/
xml/
Note that this was a repository that was built with the native Windows
version of code.
Building a repository with the Cygwin version of svnadmin generates the
following error message when trying to access it with the native Windows
svn command:
$ svnadmin create /ap1
#import some files
$ svn ls file:///ap1
t3/
test/
xml/
# in the Windows version (e.g. Program Files/Subversion/bin/)
$ ./svn ls file:///ap1
svn: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL
svn: Unable to open repository 'file:///ap1'
svn: Berkeley DB error while opening environment for filesystem /ap1/db:
Invalid argument
So it looks like the modes of code being used cannot be mixed. Have
other errors accessing via http:// that I'm not able to chase further at
the moment.
