author not getting set on checkins through svnserve (svn+ssh)

[Eric Smith <er...@brouhaha.com>]

I've got svnserve (0.26.0) set up for anonymous read-only access (invoked
via xinetd with -R and -r options), and for full access via a dedicated
openssh server with command="svnserve -r /home/svn" in the authorized_keys
file.

When I commit from another host using an svn+ssh URL, the log shows
"(no author)".  How do I get remote commits to identify the author?

I saw in the archives a thread about someone getting this behavior
before he "configured authentication", and wanting to change the author
on existing revisions.  I don't care too much about that, as long as
I get the correct author on future revisions.  But I have no idea what
Robert meant by "configured authentication".

Thanks!
Eric

You need a "-t" in there as well.  You can see this if you do the
following:

$ SVN_SSH="ssh -v" svn ls svn+ssh://blah/
[...]
debug1: Sending command: svnserve -t
[...]

Try command="svnserve -r /home/svn -t"

I believe this comment referred to Apache, not svnserve.
