svnserve -d does not store user name anymore?

[Sam Jost <sa...@b-soft.de>]

I use svnserve -d in a local network without authentification or 
authorization (we are only two developer so we don't need it).

I remember once upon a time, a great many versions ago, this setup did safe 
the user name who committed a change, but nowadays it always shows ? for the 
user.

I know the user is not authentificated, but couldn't svn(serve) just show 
the login name of the one who committed a change there? This is a important 
information for me and I would hate having to set up for me useless 
auth-stuff just to get the name printed in the log.

thanks for help,
Sam

That means the server isn't sending an authentication challenge.  Which 
means your repos/conf/svnserve.conf is misconfigured.

Either you configure the server to demand authentication, in which case 
it has a username to store in revisions... or it never challenges the 
client for authentication, in which case there's no username to store.  
You have to choose.
