Cygwin's svn client cannot write to a windows https repository

Hi,
The repository seems running on a Windows machine.  It use https as
connection protocol.

When using Windows svn client (
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=91),
there is no problem,  it even not ask for a user name and password.  But
when I use the svn client (1.6.4) comes from cygwin, the read operations
(e.g. ls, co) get no problem, but and write operation such as 'mkdir'  will
always result in an error:

svn: Server sent unexpected return value (403 Forbidden) in response to
MKACTIVITY request for
'/svn/LowCost/!svn/act/aaf33518-92b5-11de-8af7-c3c035929cdc'


What I did
has nothing to do with local working copy, since i am doing the
'mkdir' on the remote URL, there is no local copy involved at all.

Can anyone give me some help?  Thanks.

Do you suggest me to do that every time before checkout?
And my other collaborators should revert that setting when they want them with
wrappings suitable for their tools?
I'm using tools that suitable for me. If I can save my repository
administrator a headache, i will certainly do that. In such case it means that
I'm using Subversion built against cygwin-1.dll to export certain progects to
my working copy.

*sigh* Please stay on topic. All this your twist has nothing to do with OP's
problem. Not even a thing.

If you require LF-wrapped files, then set eol-style=LF. Why use native
if that's not really what you want?

Yet those problems have been documented on this very mailing list.

Try it this way: you can't share a WC created under Cygwin with the
Win32 SVN clients. You face many of the same issues you face when
sharing a WC between Win32 and *NIX.

Cygwin is not a hack.
How else you could force Subversion to export LF-wrapped files on Windows with
eol-style=native?

You're seriously wrong if you thinking that way.

For some reason, I wish to have the cygwin's svn work for me.  Since I am
distributing an own-wrote application to my colleagues,  this application is
based on cygwin and also call external svn client to do something.  So, I
don't want bother my colleagues to install another svn client if they
already have cygwin installed.

Thanks.

If you already have the Win32 command-line client, why are you using
the hack that is Cygwin? Cygwin tricks the client into thinking it's
on an OS it's not, which leads to confusion and some problems.

This is wrong.  If this is the ONLY difference between the two files,
then presumably both of them have 'passtype' set to 'wincrypt' --- which
means that both of them were generated by a native-windows svn.

(You can decode the base64 and see for yourself: it contains the string 
"auth_svn.simple.wincrypt", which is the value of a constant from a source 
file (win32_crypto.c) that isn't compiled on Cygwin.)

Hi, everyone

After some tests, I found the cause, but I don't know how to explain
it and how to fix it.

After I removed the whole configuration directory for both the windows and
the cygwin svn client, they both begin to ask me a username/password when i
do the first svn
operation.  After I supplied the username/password, both client
re-created the configuration directory and put a file
'f95bc30e725c3e318b1348ab3a6f5cbd'
in the 'auth/svn.simple' subdirectory.  But the contents of the file
generated by both clients are different even though i am operating on the
same server and do the same operation with the same username/password!

The difference is only one line for the file, it looks like an encoded
password.  Now I show you the the diff output as below. (the first file is
the cygwin's file, the second one is the windows native client's file)

It's the same for all Windows clients, that are not built against cygwin-1.dll

Ahha, this could be a problem, actually.
I haven't tried Cygwin SVN with ntlm authentication.
If your server does not have any fallback methods of authentication, it would
not work at all. Still, needs check, though.

Okay, I will do it tomorrow when I in the office computer.  I've already
knew that where is the configuration files for cygwin svn.  but could you
tell me where is the configuration files for my native windows svn?  My
windows svn is the CollabNet from tigris.org.

Actually, I am sure what is the user name and password.  I remembered I've
tried by using my windows's domain account.  But it did not work.  You know,
for our repository accessing, there is no user name password required, i
guess it is using the OS's user name to do the authontication.  If my
windows account is domain\tom, and password is 'hello',  so can you give me
a suggest on how should I provide this to the svn client?

Thanks.

Can you do exactly the same command with native windows client?

Cygwin client likely store it's configuration files in different place than
native Windows client.
Check that, and make sure your configuration for Cygwin SVN client identical
to Windows one.
Also try passing name/password in commandline along with --no-auth-cache --non-interactive
