I made the directory world writeable then received this error on check-in:
svn: MERGE request failed on '/svn/est/modeminit195e'
svn: Can't open file '/usr/local/estsvn/est/db/write-lock': Permission denied
So I made the write-lock file world writeable and got this error:
svn: MERGE request failed on '/svn/est/modeminit195e'
svn: Can't move '/usr/local/estsvn/est/db/transactions/86-1.txn/rev' to
'/usr/local/estsvn/est/db/revs/87': Permission denied
So I did a 'chmod -R o+w /usr/local/estsvn' and now I can do a check-in.
I don't like having my whole repsitory world writeable. Is there a way to fix
this? I noticed that apache2 creates directories as nobody:svn. The nobody
user is in the svn group so it should be able to create directories in the
repository without the directories being world writeable. Is there a reason
why it can't?
Thanks,
Tom
