Subversion Integration - Using Repositories on Remote Windows Filesystems

[Tim]

This is another solved issue, but since it took me a while to figure
out, I figured I would post it here for posterity in the hope that it
might help somebody else out.

I am running Review Board on a Windows XP machine under Apache. Our
svn repositories are not stored on the local machine, but rather on a
remote server. I screwed around with trying to access the repositories
for a long time - I was getting a traceback when attempting to view
diffs in the remote repository:

SCM Error: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL

This happened when I attempted to use the drive letter mapped to the
remote share. However, when I specified the location of the repository
using UNC pathing, it worked:

file:////server/share/repository_root

There are four slashes after the file:. Go figure.
