Error: Could not access revision times

[Mark Phippard <ma...@gmail.com>]

Anyone seen this error before?  This is in the Apache error logs and not
sure what it means:

[dav:error] Could not access revision times. [500, #175002]

Searching at svn.haxx.se only finds the commit where the message was
added.  I think it is happening for a user doing a checkout but I am trying
to get the client side of this.

Might be commits without svn:date.

Non-chronological commits shouldn't result in an error; just in
a possibly-wrong answer.  (There might not _be_ a correct answer,
of course.)

To better understand what triggers the error we should patch subversion/mod_dav_svn/reports/dated-rev.c
to log the error that libsvn_repos returns there, and probably the
input date too.

It's a wild guess but perchance it's a 'svn co ${URL}@{DATE}' and the
binary search (to resolve {DATE} to a number) is failing due to authz?

Yes, the user that got this error was using SVNKit.  I do not know if it
was via Jenkins, Eclipse or something else and that is why I am not sure
what the command was.  I asked to recreate using SVN command line so we
could better understand what triggered it.

Do you use something non-standard like SVNKit to access the
repositories via Apache?
