Package: subversion Version: 1.9.7-2 Severity: normal It may happen that when operative and peg revisions differ, one gets an error "svn: E160016: '...' is not a directory in filesystem '...'" while this is completely wrong. This bug is also present in stretch (1.9.5-1+deb9u1), but is not present in 1.8.8 on Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS.
Here's what I get (here, on this machine, the repository has just been created from a dump for testing purpose): * When the revisions are the same, this is OK: zira:~> svn ls -r99808 file:///home/vinc17/private/svn-tmp/perso/tcl/fidelite@99808 fidelite zira:~> svn ls -r99809 file:///home/vinc17/private/svn-tmp/perso/tcl/fidelite@99809 fidelite * When the revisions are different, this is not: zira:~> svn ls -r99808 file:///home/vinc17/private/svn-tmp/perso/tcl/fidelite@99809 svn: E160016: Failure opening '/perso/tcl/fidelite' svn: E160016: '/perso/tcl' is not a directory in filesystem '99759db8-4ec0-0310-8bf9-df86780d22d8' zira:~> svn ls -r99809 file:///home/vinc17/private/svn-tmp/perso/tcl/fidelite@99808 svn: E160016: Failure opening '/perso/tcl/fidelite' svn: E160016: '/perso/tcl' is not a directory in filesystem '99759db8-4ec0-0310-8bf9-df86780d22d8' Note that if I remove "/fidelite" from the 4 above commands to list the directory, I do not get any error. The commit r99809 does not involve the /perso/tcl path at all. Note also that the above revisions are just an example. It seems that I get the same behavior with any revisions from the point the file was added in the repository, i.e. an error iff the operative and peg revisions differ. The issue seems to occur only on this particular file. Unfortunately, I do not have any simple test case.
