TortoiseSVN, WindowsXP SP3, https repositories

[Paul R]

Dear readers and developers,

considering the thread below :

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.subversion.devel/108791

which could be summarised as :

``On windows XP SP3, TSVN (stable version) will hang very often (but
not each time) when connecting to an https repository served by apache
+ SSL server. ''

This basically makes TortoiseSVN unusable with HTTPS repositories.
Please note that Tortoise itslef isn't the culprit as svn.exe shows the
same behaviour.

I was wondering if TSVN users on this list are experiencing the same
behaviour, and if they know how to fix it or at least work around it.

Thanks for your reports,

I have used few months ago exactly the same configuration, but I have
certificate signed myself and using was without problems, so I can't
help you

Yes, as explained in the thread, when the root CA isn't present on the
Windows XP system, the bug does not show up, so that explains why you
have not seen the bug. Thanks.

I would like to note, as a new data point, that the problem still shows
up with latest release of tsvn : 1.5.8.

I insist that the certificate must be valid and signed by a pre-trusted
authority (basicaly any authority preset in windows) for this bug to
show-up. Self-signed certificates (or certificates with root CA not in
the windows database of trusted CA, like ca-cert's), won't trigger the
bug.

Thanks for the update, but you are sending it to the wrong place. If
this also happens with the svn command line client it is related to
the subversion libraries, not TSVN. You need to report this on the
subversion users list. Subversion 1.6 will be released in 2-3 weeks,
so if it is indeed a bug the chances of getting a fix into 1.6.0 are
now very slim.

You are right, sorry if this is too off-topic. Initialy, I posted here
because this bug affects the windows version of svn, but most windows
users use svn through TortoiseSVN, so most users bitten by the bug will
see it through TortoiseSVN, not the svn.exe binary. I wanted to gather
as many data points as possible, so I posted it here.

The thread below indicates that 1.6 has a fix for it, and I can confirm
that the latest binaries of svn.exe are not buggy.

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.subversion.devel/108791

TortoiseSVN nightly build does not trigger the bug either, this is the
good news, but the whole current 1.5.x serie does trigger the bug, and
this is the bad news.

Is there already a roadmap for the release of TSVN 1.6.0 please ?

Thank you,

Yep. A few days after svn 1.6.0, so Real Soon Now (TM).
