Unable to checkout/add hidden files to repo
Hello,
I'm having a strange problem and because it has to do with hidden files I'm
having a real hard time finding any information about it. everything
is usually about the .svn folders.
Essentially my repository wont let me check out or commit any hidden files.
(.htaccess)
When i checkout a folder with a hidden file already in it, the hidden files
are not downloaded in my working copy.
When i do an 'svn ls' the hidden files are shown in the list of files and
they also appear in websvn.
When i create a new hidden file and try to svn add and commit it i get an
error like the following:
"svn:
'/svn/repo/!svn/wrk/3bc21418-b253-41a7-8d7c-dd2db27c6e5b/path/path/.hidden'
path not found"
I've never had this issue and i cant find any information on it. This repo
has been running with no issues for years now and no changes have been made
to it configuration as far as i can tell.
The server is running debian lenny with svn 1.5.1
Any help would really be appreciated
Thanks,

It requires a 1.7 mod_dav_svn configured without
a "SVNAdvertiseV2Protocol off" directive.

I had the same problem with both client version 1.5.1 that's installed on
the server and 1.6.12 that's on my laptop (ubuntu 11.10) .
This is an old server still running debian lenny, so it has not gotten many
updates lately. I don't really understand how this is just now coming up as
a problem. its possible that this has been happening for the last 2 years
and no one noticed, but its very unlikely. we run over 50 projects out of
this repo and all have hidden files like this in them.
Either way I'm glad i was able to figure it out. it was about to be a long
day if i didn't. I was planning on moving our repo this year anyways to a
newer version of svn. Now I think i'll make that a higher priority.
Thanks guys.

You mentioned server version 1.5.1 but not client version. Subversion 1.7 includes a new http implementation which is different from the old Subversion 1.6-and-earlier http implementation; I'm not sure if that requires a 1.7 server as well. If so, then there's still the serf vs neon difference; Subversion clients can use either, and they behave differently.

Did you upgrade your client recently?

You guys were right. I found the below line in my httpd.conf with a note
saying i added it in April of 2010
RedirectMatch 404 /\\..*(/.*|$)
I don't understand how I'm just now having this problem though. Doesn't
make any sense.
Thanks for you help.

I agree with Daniel. Check your httpd.conf, and all other conf files it includes, for directives that restrict hidden files (where by "hidden files" I am assuming you mean files whose names begin with a ".").

This happens with any hidden file, not just .htaccess files.
Any idea's?

Probably a bogus httpd config --- overly greedy application of a "don't
GET .htaccess" directive. Try files called .ABC
