Subversion bug report

From: Dawson, Ewan B <ewan_at_bgs.ac.uk>

I would like to report a bug in the Subversion client.

I am running Subversion 1.6.1 on Windows XP SP3.

Here is the situation: I am trying to work with a working copy stored on a Solaris machine, which is accessed from Windows via a Samba share (mapped to X:/ drive). When I try to perform a diff operation on a checked-out file, I get the following error message:

X:\source\IFR-Serialize\IFR\Serialize>svn diff NewFormatInfile.pm
svn: Can't open file 'NewFormatInfile.pm\.svn\entries': The directory name is invalid.

It appears as though SVN thinks NewFormatInfile.pm is a directory, when in fact it is a file.

I can check out a fresh working copy to the Samba share, but I get the same error when I try to diff. If I check out a working copy to a local drive on my Windows machine, I can diff the files without any problems.

This problem first appeared after I upgraded from Subversion 1.5.x to 1.6.1

Please let me know if you require any further information.

Regards,

Ewan Dawson
