[Fwd: Commands needing svn copy (ren, mv etc) fail]

[Ben Collins-Sussman <su...@collab.net>]

What the heck is this?  This is the second person to report this bizarre
bug this week.  Didn't we fix something similar to this?  Or it a weird
interaction with a shell?

This report, along with the other one, looks like the first 3 chars of
the hostname is being chopped away by something.

Hi,

Please excuse me for posting this message again, I had forgotten to 
mention the os and the version.

Operating System: Mandrake Linux 9.2
SVN Version: svn, version 1.0.6 (r10360)

svn copy does not interpret the url correctly.

Examples of the command that fails follows.

svn copy svn://10.0.1.65/IPWorks/ctlclass 
svn://10.0.1.65/IPWorks/ctlclass/branch -m"Test"
svn: File not found: revision '3074', path '/0.1.65/IPWorks/ctlclass'

svn copy svn://localhost/IPWorks/ctlclass 
svn://localhost/IPWorks/ctlclass/branch -m"Test"
svn: File not found: revision '3074', path '/alhost/IPWorks/ctlclass'

It appears that the "/" in "svn://" is interpretted as some special 
character.
I have tried various quotes and escape characters but nothing seems to 
work.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Amit

There really isn't sufficent information here to understand what is
going on here.  What shell are you using?  Did you build Subversion on
your own or are you using a binary package?  Is you are using a binary
package where did you get it?  Is the server running the same version of
subversion as the client (I'm guessing yes because of the localhost).
Can you provide an reproduction recipe that starts with creating a new
repository, starts svnserve and then runs commands against that
repository?  Can you provide a trace of the network traffic between the
server and the client?  Finally would it be possible for you to get on
IRC sometime during the daytime in a US timezone to help try to
interactively debug this?
