Repro browser crashing after updating to 1.12.0

[mario....@ime-actia.de]

I have updated Tortoise SVN to Version 1.12.0, Build 28568 - 64 Bit, 2019/04/16 18:42:29 and now I the repro browser crashes on some directories without giving any error message.

I can open the repro browser on the top level directory of my SVN server, I can open some folders, but when I open my project directory, the repro browser crashes. :-(

This is really annoying.

I never had these problems with earlier versions of Tortoise SVN.

I hope someone can give me a clue on how to find the problem and how to fix it.

Hi,

Could this be the same issue described in the thread titled "Repo-browser crash"?

[kristian...@gmail.com]

Having the same issue, downgrading to 1.11.1 fixed the problem. Doesn't happen on all my computers with 1.12, but on 2 of 4. Just going to the Repo browser doesn't trigger it every time (especially after a reboot you can get a few visits before it starts crashing), but anytime you go to the Repo Browser from something like Switch or Branch / Tag it happens every time.

I have the same issue while browsing a folder which has external link.

Thanks to everyone who wrote on my problem.

This was the hint, that helped. I googled for 'tortoise svn repro browser crash' about a week ago, but did not find (or notice) that thread. :-(

I installed a nightly build and the problem was gone. I am yet to see what other problems might be caused by using that nightly build. In case of further trouble I will downgrade to 1.11.x.

Thanks to everybody.

The problem seems to be in new code introduced in the initial 1.12.0, and later corrected in 1.12.x revision 28573 (https://osdn.net/projects/tortoisesvn/scm/svn/commits/28572).

This fix is included in the latest 1.12.x Release Candidate (nightly build not needed), which is for revision 28592 as of this moment.

You can get it here: https://nightlybuilds.tortoisesvn.net/1.12.x/
Changelog mentions:
Version 1.12.1
- BUG: Crash in the repo browser if externals
with relative paths were present. (Stefan)
- ...
