Re: AuthzSVNAccessFile and branching

Thanks Lieven for your info. Here are the log file entries:

When I issue the following command:

svn cp http://subv2.xyz.com/repos/landfill/trunk
http://subv2.xyz.com/repos/landfill/branches/1.0 -m "1.0 branch"

it will prompt me 3 times for username/password and then displays the
following:

subversion/libsvn_ra_dav/util.c:294: (apr_err=170001)
svn: COPY of branches/1.0/trunk: authorization failed (http://subv2.xyz.com)

The Apache error_log contains a series of these entries:

[Wed Jul 06 09:41:21 2005] [error] [client 10.31.1.21] Access denied:
'(null)' COPY landfill:/branches/1.0/trunk landfill:/branches/1.0/trunk
[Wed Jul 06 09:41:24 2005] [error] [client 10.31.1.21] Access denied:
'(null)' COPY landfill:/branches/1.0/trunk landfill:/branches/1.0/trunk
[Wed Jul 06 09:41:27 2005] [error] [client 10.31.1.21] Access denied:
'(null)' COPY landfill:/branches/1.0/trunk landfill:/branches/1.0/trunk

This is happening on both my production Subversion server and a test
subversion server (running subversion 1.1.3 -- all else the same).

Again, commits work without a problem, so I know that I have write access to
the repository. Any suggestions?
