filename length

I am trying to check out a repository on a Windows machine and I am 
getting errors that it can't find a path. It looks like it may be a 
length issue as this is quite deep in the directory tree. I have been 
using the repository on a linux box without issue. Today I exported the 
repository to my windows box (which is the only one connected to the 
vpn) and imported it to a new server on the vpn (linux). I then tried to 
check it out and got the path not found errors. Anybody have a clue?

Checkouts build working copies, which means that your longest file
path length will, at some point, be extended by additional characters,
".svn/tmp/text-base/" between the dirname and basename, and
".svn-work" at the end of the path.  If you're riding the line near
PATH_MAX, those additional characters could knock you over the
boundary.

Thanks for the follow-up.

502 error on copy through stunnel proxy...

Posted by Christopher Baus <ch...@yahoo.com>.
I've also run into this problem:

http://vanderwijk.info/Members/ivo/articles/ComplexSVNSetupFix

using stunnel.  

Does anybody have anymore information on this.  Can it
be fixed internally to mod_dav_svn?  Also I'd rather
use mod_rewrite than yet another proxy.  

Any suggestions?

using an absolute pathname worked. Interesting that I was able to 
"export" to windows box without an absolute path but couldnt checkout to it.

I've recently been looking into similar issues.  Windows has a
255-character path limit unless a) using a Unicode version of Windows
*and* b) using absolute paths (where you get 32k-length paths).

Try doing your Windows checkout specifying an absolute path for the
checkout target:

   svn co http://blahblahblah/ C:\Temp\MyWorkingCopy

And please report back here if this works for you (cuz your findings
may help me with the issue *I'm* looking at).

Thanks.
