Show log
Hi ,
I have earlier posted this problem a week ago, still not able to sort it.I
get an error "svn: Item is not readable" when check for svn log from the CLI
and from TSVN i get a message like " offline for now, Permanently offline
and Don't go offline" when I click Don't go offline, it asks fro the svn
user name and pssword when I give the username and password it again asks to
select the above three.I again select Don't go offline it gives a TSVN
message subversion/libsvn_repos/log.c.
This is my production repository which I am working on, There are a lot of
confusions between the developers as the log is not working.
Anybody know what is going on wrong in my repository, Please help me as I
have taken a long time to sort the issue.
Thanks and Regards
Marky

Thank you very much Konstantin,
Atlast after a weeks struggle, I have sorted the issue with your help,
thanks a lot for taking your time reading my mails and answering it.As you
suggested before, my first work is to read the whole SVN book and understand
it, atleast I have come out of the pressure for now.
Thanks and Regards
Marky

Sorry,
I have not said how it was sorted out, Just by doing the steps A & B in the
transcript below, SVN started to show all the log messages old and new.

Hi Konstantin,
this my authz file do you find anything wrong?
### This file is an example authorization file for svnserve.
### Its format is identical to that of mod_authz_svn authorization
### files.
### As shown below each section defines authorizations for the path and
### (optional) repository specified by the section name.
### The authorizations follow. An authorization line can refer to:
### - a single user,
### - a group of users defined in a special [groups] section,
### - an alias defined in a special [aliases] section,
### - all authenticated users, using the '$authenticated' token,
### - only anonymous users, using the '$anonymous' token,
### - anyone, using the '*' wildcard.
###
### A match can be inverted by prefixing the rule with '~'. Rules can
### grant read ('r') access, read-write ('rw') access, or no access
### ('').

By googling I found the following page that mentions the message:
http://sdesmedt.wordpress.com/2006/11/04/building-a-development-environment-part-1-managing-your-sourcecode-with-subversion/
It says:
"(...) uses the log command of subversion to decide if something changed
in the repository, (..). Unfortunatly, this subversion command fails
with a message
"Item is not readable" if you didn't provide read access to the root for
anyone in the authz file."
I do not 100% agree with all that is written there, but at least it
gives you a direction
where to look: check the access rights.
