Hi all,

I'm having a problem with TortoiseSVN client: If I select "show log"
from a local working copy appear this message "subversion/libsvn_repos/
log.c. But this just happen with two working copies with the others
works fine. Another thing is that with TortoiseSVN Client 1.4.8 those
working copies works!
Any ideas what is it?

TortoiseSVN 1.5.0, Build 13316 - 32 Bit , 2008/06/21 07:55:29
Subversion 1.5.0,
apr 1.2.12
apr-utils 1.2.12
berkeley db 4.4.20

zlib 1.2.3

That's definitely not the whole message you get. Please tell us the full
error message you get.

Stefan,

Unfortunately I can't put a print screem here.
Only open Show log window and after a few seconds appear a window with
this message. I'm going to draw for you..

Hit Ctrl-C on that dialog. That will copy its content to the clipboard.
Is this really the whole message? Just the path?
The path is a file from the svn library (I assume that you didn't show
the log for that file) and usually when such paths are shown in an
error, it's part of a bigger error message.

I made the Ctrl-C and the result was the same - subversion/
libsvn_repos/log.c
Searching i discovery that when a disable the authz-db at
svnserve.conf at my repository the show log works.
Do you have any idea what is it?

Can you try the command line client please? If you get the same error
there, you'd have to report this on the svn mailing list (users at
subversion tigris org)

Hi,

I'm reviving an old thread because I've got exactly this problem.

My description is the following : when using authz in svnserve.conf
(using ssh connection), show log stops working in Tortoise SVN.

It works:
- if I don't use authz on the server (not possible for my case)
- in cygwin svn
- on linux svn
- on svn command line although not reliably : some of my team members
can do it, others get "svn: Item is not readable".

The problems shows up with several ssh clients (tortoiseplink, plink)
so it's not the cause.

The dialog box is empty, apart from the name of the file of the guilty
file : subversion/
libsvn_repos/log.c

Any idea ?

cheers,

Philippe

Since I can't reproduce this problem, I can't help you here. Also, since
the svn command line shows the same problem (remember: TSVN always does
a 'svn log -v', not just an 'svn log') you should ask on the Subversion
mailing list.

As I said, for some of us, it works on the command line, even with -
v .

My feeling is that TortoiseSvn is directly involved in this one way or
the other (probably in the way it uses libsvn) because the problem
never happens on any other svn clients I tried.

I'll contact svn people about it. Meanwhile, is there any way to get
more debug information out of tortoise svn ? Getting some logs about
what it is doing would be nice.

I started getting the very same error since we upgraded the svn
repositories any tortoisesvn to the latest version, the only
workaround currently is, to turn off authentification, otherwise show
log fails in exact same manner as described by Marcela.

Where can i submit this error to tortoisesvn people?
