Re: svn log entries with no data

More puzzling then either case you suggest.

Doing "svn log -v --xml ..." directly on the server (thus side-stepping
authorization questions) yields:

<logentry
    revision="2">
<paths>
</paths>
</logentry>
<logentry
    revision="3">
<paths>
</paths>
</logentry>
<logentry
    revision="4">
<paths>
</paths>
</logentry>
<logentry
    revision="5">
<paths>
</paths>
</logentry>
<logentry
    revision="6">
<paths>
</paths>
</logentry>
<logentry
    revision="7">
<paths>
</paths>
</logentry>
<logentry
    revision="8">
<paths>
</paths>
</logentry>
<logentry
    revision="9">
<paths>
</paths>
</logentry>
<logentry
    revision="10">
<paths>
</paths>
</logentry>

It's like the only thing left of these revisions is just the revision #.
Even svnlook on the server yields blank responses.

$ svnlook info _______________ --revision 2

0
$ svnlook info _______________ --revision 3

0

Anyone seen anything like this before?

Eric.
