Re: svn+ssh access to Windows server?

Has anyone found a way to make this work?  My repository is on Drive D as
well, and I want to leave it there.  I also don't want to make everyone
create a custom SSH key just for subversion, but be able to use their
existing ones.

Locally it's no problem accessing repo at file:///d:/repo, but remotely
svn+ssh://host/d:/repo or svn+ssh://host//d:/repo or
svn+ssh://host///d:/repo do not work, is there any way to do this?

Re: svn+ssh access to Windows server?

Posted by Paul Galbraith <pa...@paulgalbraith.net>.
Following Duncan's lead ... rather than move my repository to C: I used
SysInternals' junction.exe to create link from C: -> D:, accessing the repo
using svn+ssh protocol now works nicely.
