Hi all,
I'm trying to do a checkout on a Windows 7 Professional x64 machine,
using the svn client version 1.6.6 (though I've seen the same problem
with 1.6.12, from TortoiseSVN-1.6.10.19898-x64-svn-1.6.12) against
server version 1.6.9.
The command lines I'm using are normally executed from within
CruiseControl.NET, by a custom NAnt task we've written, which launches
"svn.exe" as a process. I've used sysinternals Process Explorer to grab
the exact command line it's executing, though I've changed directory
names below to protect confidentiality.
The problem is occurring because we're using UNC Long Paths, as
described here
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365247(VS.85).aspx#maxpath>,
to try to avoid maximum path length issues.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------
"svn" checkout -r HEAD http://svnserver/svn/path/to/project
"\\?\D:\src\autobuild-trunk\server\Trunk_ProjectAB\WorkingDirectory"
--username DOMAIN\user --password ******** --no-auth-cache
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------
On someone else's Windows XP SP2 x86 machine (and likewise my old
machine), this works as I'd expect, checking out the contents of
"http://svnserver/svn/path/to/project" to
"D:\src\autobuild-trunk\server\Trunk_ProjectAB\WorkingDirectory".
However, on my new machine, which runs Windows 7, the console output is
as follows.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------
U \WorkingDirectory
Fetching external item into '\WorkingDirectory\Tools'
A \WorkingDirectory\Tools\Some Build Tool.dll
A \WorkingDirectory\Tools\Tools
A \WorkingDirectory\Tools\Tools\Some Tool
[...]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------
And sure enough, it's checking out to "\WorkingDirectory", which
resolves to "D: WorkingDirectory". But if I remove the "\\?\", it
checks out to where I would expect.
Please let me know if you need any more information to investigate this.
I can work around it for now as I'm just trying to verify local
modifications to our autobuild before I check in - the autobuild machine
itself isn't running Windows 7.
Thanks,
