svn list problem

[Helmut Heidegger <h....@phion.com>]

Hello all,

I have the following problem:

the command 'svn -R list https://server/svn/dev' does only bring an 
error message if I have no access permission to a single directory like 
say https://server/svn/dev/trunk/settings
But I want the full list and at https://server/svn/dev/trunk/settings a 
message like 'permission denied'. I need this since I call 'svn list' 
from sourcenavigator (a tcl/tk ide for c++) and will get nothing if the 
user is not allowed to read the whole repository.
Is there another way of getting the list...

Thanks
Heli

You could browse the repository in a web browser interactively.

But no, the reason you're getting one error, rather than a partial
listing + error, is because 'svn list -R' isn't streamy.  It tries to
gather all the information in memory at once, then display it all at
once.  There's already a bug filed on that.  :-(
