Re: svn copy fails (was Script: svn_load_dirs.pl)

Hi

I have not yet fixed this problem. Please have a fresh look and see if you can help.

The problem concerns svn copy. We are running svn 1.5.2 with Apache on Linux. The client is svn 1.4.6 on Windows. I believe there is a reverse proxy in the network.

The fault case is quite clear:

(1) svn cp WC URL ===> works for https:// DST
(2) svn cp URL URL ===> fails for https:// SRC and DST
(3) svn cp URL URL ===> works for svn:// SRC and DST

The error message for case (2) is:

svn: MERGE request failed on '/subversion/svntest'
svn: Reference to non-existent node '0.0.r-1/-1' in filesystem '/home/svn/svntest/db'

Given that copy works for a svn serve SRC URL but not for a https SRC URL I guess the problem is associated with our Apache configuration. We normally use https URLs and have no other problems: checkouts, updates and commits work fine. It is only the copy (used for tagging) that fails.

Please can anyone give me some help on this?

BR

David
