external definitions not showing up in web browser

[Jean-Philippe Lavertu <jp...@optosecurity.com>]

Hi, 

 

Our software team here is using external definitions (
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/ch07s03.html ) on our svn server (
running 1.4.2 r22196 ) and for some reason , they are not working when
using a web browser, but they do when using a SVN client like Tortoise
or kdesvn.  Now the software guys asked me if it's possible to make the
external definitions work or showup with Apache.  I've searched around
the web yesterday and haven't found anything really helpful so I thought
of joining the mailing list.

 

Thanks in advance, 

 

JP

Maybe using one of the web-based frontends it could work, but it's not 
going to work with mod_dav_svn because that's just not how they work; 
externals are processed by the client when checking out/updating. 
Browsing a repo with mod_dav_svn isn't using a client, it's directly 
accessing the server with a web browser.
