Hi,
what you want to do is definitely possible with svnserve 1.3.2, I can
simulate it right here on my Windows pc.
I have a repository called repos, located in c:\devel\lgo\svn\repos. It
contains a trunk branch in which I created a folder 't'.
This is my configuration for repos:
== svnserve.conf
[general]
anon-access = none
auth-access = write
password-db = passwd
authz-db = authz
realm = My First Repository
== authz
[/]
lgo = rw
[/trunk/t]
test = rw
== passwd
[users]
lgo = lgo
test = test
I start up svnserve like this:
C:\svn-win32-1.3.2>svnserve -d -r C:\devel\lgo\svn
and then checkout my t folder (I specify username & password so I'm this
username is used, not the cached one):
C:\svn-win32-1.3.2>svn checkout --username test --password test
svn://localhost/repos/trunk/t ./wc
A wc\file
A wc\test.txt
Checked out revision 59.
It works as expected.
Some random thoughts:
- this was indeed a bug in svn 1.3.1 (as another reply already pointed out),
so that would be me first guess too.
- you say that the user can't update, but if he's trying an update he must
have already succeeded in doing a checkout. where did he get the working
copy from then? Can you try checking out a new working copy?
- before trying, make sure you clear svn's authentication cache (or use
--username and --password), then you're sure which account you're using.
If this doesn't succeed, please give me an exact recipe of reproduction and
I'll try it on my Linux or Mac box.
regards,
Lieven.
