Cannot open ra_local session?

[Scott Purcell <sp...@vertisinc.com>]

Hello,

Newbie, following page 6 of the Version Control with Subversion book.:

 

OS Windows XP

Version: subversion 1.3

 

1)       I installed the 1.3 software using the svn-1.3.0-setup.exe.

 

2)       I created a directory called subversroot under C:/ eg:
C:/subversroot

 

3)       I created C:/tmp/project/branches ...
C:/tmp/project/tags ... etc, as the book states.

 

4)       When I try executing the svn import command see below, I get
the error message "Unable to open an ra_local session to URL" 

 

5)       See below for exact commands.

 

Thanks,

 

 

bash-3.00$ synadmin create subversroot/

bash: synadmin: command not found

bash-3.00$ svnadmin create subversroot

bash-3.00$ ls subversroot

README.txt  conf  dav  db  format  hooks  locks

bash-3.00$

bash-3.00$

bash-3.00$ svn import tmp/project file:///subversroot -m "initial
import"

svn: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL

bash-3.00$ svn import tmp/project file:///C:/subversroot -m "initial

I don't use the bash shell but here's a sequence of cmds that work
fine in the Windows XP command prompt:

cd \temp\svn
svnadmin create repo
mkdir import
time /t > import\test.txt
cd import
svn import -m"" . file:///c:/temp/svn/repo/
cd ..
mkdir wc
svn co file:///c:/temp/svn/repo wc


Interestingly, I tried to specify a directory as part of the svn
import command (as you were doing above) but svn always used the
current directory. I'm not sure if that's a bug but the easy
workaround is to change into the directory you're importing. HTH...
