Fwd: Possible SVN Relocate bug

I am pretty sure this is a bug, so sent this to dev a few days ago. But, it
doesn't look like it got through. I'm using svn version 1.4.3 on my client,
and 1.3.2 on the server. Can anyone verify this as a bug?
Thank you,

To: dev@subversion.tigris.org

I have an svn 'repository' that was recently moved. A 'user' who had
previously checked out a folder within the repository was unable to relocate
their copy to this new host. They kept getting the following error:

PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/repository'
PROPFIND of '/svn/repository': 403 Forbidden (https://domain.name)

They were able to check out a fresh copy from the new repository, but were
not able to relocate their old copy to it.

After looking in to this (and doing a little testing) It appeared that the
user could not relocate the repository unless they had permission to read
and write (possibly just read -- I only tested with both read and write)
access to the root of the repository. When I added them as having rw
permission in [/], they could relocate the repository without any problems.
I've attached some (shortened) configuration files and log messages below.
Hopefully they will help. Of note, notice that the error.log file shows them
trying to access PROPFIND on repository:/ when they were relocating a
subfolder within it.

If this is a bug, what should I do?
If this is a misconfiguration on my part, how should I fix it?

Thank you,
-- Scott

Good morning, Lee.

Thanks for clearing that up.  Dictionary.com defines "deltAfication" (i.e. 
delta instead of delti) to mean approximately that... its definition is 
"The formation of a delta or of deltas".  I was wondering if deltification 
is subtly different from deltafication or just another. lesser-known way to 
spell the same thing.

Merriam Webster Online (www.m-w.com) defines "deltafication" as "we have a 
definition for you... pay us some money and we'll tell you what it is".  :-\

Delta's are differences (a math term, I think). So deltification is the 
verbification of the term to mean computing, storing, transferring the 
differences between versions instead of complete copies, reconstructing 
the whole copies only when needed.

Can someone please tell me what the heck "deltification" means?

I looked it up in dictionary.com and wikipedia.org and yahoo and google and 
dejanews and none of them have a definition... dictionary.com and 
wikipedia.org never heard of the word, and google only mentions it in 
Subversion contexts but doesn't yield a definition.

Thanks...

Possible SVN Relocate bug

I have an svn repository that was recently moved to a different server. A
user who had previously checked out a folder within the repository was
unable to relocate their copy to this new server. They kept getting the
following error:

PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/repository'
PROPFIND of '/svn/repository': 403 Forbidden (https://domain.name )

They were able to check out a fresh copy from the new repository, but were
not able to relocate their old copy to it.

user could not relocate the repository unless they had permission to read
and write (possibly just read -- I only tested with both read and write)
access to the root of the repository. When I added them as having rw

PS. I've been trying to post this for a number of days, so apologies if
there are multiple copies.
