Hi,

Since I have activated authz in my svn repository (ssh + svnserver
hosted on linux), I have a problem with svn log:

=======================================
On windows, with the collabnet subversion command line client:

Philippe@pc-philippe $ svn log
svn: Item is not readable


Philippe@pc-philippe /cygdrive/w/inseal/secured_devel/jayCos $ svn
--version
svn, version 1.5.3 (r33570)   compiled Oct 11 2008, 10:15:03

protocol.
  - with Cyrus SASL authentication
  - handles 'svn' scheme
* ra_local : Module for accessing a repository on local disk.
  - handles 'file' scheme
========================================
The server I am using on Linux:

philippe@gunm $ svnserve --version
svnserve, version 1.5.2 (r32768)   compiled Oct  7 2008, 12:45:59

The following repository back-end (FS) modules are available:
* fs_base : Module for working with a Berkeley DB repository.
* fs_fs : Module for working with a plain file (FSFS) repository.
========================================


The problem is not present:
- if I disable authz
- if I use the command line svn on linux
- if I use the command line svn of cygwin

So, it's really something tied to the windows build of the svn command
line tool.

Further digging showed that I'm not the only one to see the problem:
http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2008-10/0216.shtml

I also see it with Tortoise:
http://groups.google.com/group/tortoisesvn/browse_frm/thread/5968c727a3f7453f/84dbd256b7d9a113?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=bluebird#84dbd256b7d9a113


This post provides some good hint of the cause (search near the Conclusion):
http://sdesmedt.wordpress.com/2006/11/04/building-a-development-environment-part-1-managing-your-sourcecode-with-subversion/


The guy says that it seems that "svn log" needs anonymous access to the
repository to work. If I add *=r , it works indeed.


	cheers,

	Philippe
