Hi,
This is only a stab in the dark, but do you have a ".htaccess" file in
the folders you are having issues with ?
Thanks

Subject: svn co ignores subfolders with restricted access
Hi,
I seem to have a problem with my svn client.
Summary: "svn checkout" ignores subfolders with restricted access, even
when I provide proper authentication. It works fine for the root folder;
only subfolders give problems.
I've got a repository set up as follows:
* The root is accessible as anonymous:
https://svn.uva.netherlight.nl/projects/ndl/
(check out yourself; you should be able to see this)
* One of the subfolders is only accessible for certain authorized users:
https://svn.uva.netherlight.nl/projects/ndl/Articles/
(check out yourself; you should get a 401 result)
with the svn client (I tested versions 1.4.0 and 1.4.2), I can indeed
read the above:
% svn https://svn.uva.netherlight.nl/projects/ndl/
gives me all except the restricted access folders, without warnings.
This is expected.
% svn --username myaccount --password verysecret \
https://svn.uva.netherlight.nl/projects/ndl/Articles/
(with obviously correct username and password) indeed gives met this
non-public subfolder.
Again, as expected.
% svn --username myaccount --password verysecret \
https://svn.uva.netherlight.nl/projects/ndl/
Does get me exactly the same as when I did not give a username and
password, and ignores the Articles subfolder.
This is not what I expected: I expected that the subfolders would be
downloaded as well, as I did provide proper authentication.
Is this intended behaviour or a bug? I searched the list archive to find
simular problems, but all I could find were questions about setting up
the server (which seems fine here).
Unfortunately, debugging is hard as svn checkout does not have a
--verbose option, and I can not snoop on the actual HTTPS queries on the
wire, as HTTPS is encrypted.
Regards,
Freek Dijkstra
