Subject: svn: Unable to find repository location for '*' in revision x
Package: subversion
Version: 1.5.0dfsg1-4
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

Dear DDs,


I am a little confused. In my project I deleted a file file.tex in r221.

$ LANG=C svn log -vr 221
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r221 | x | *** | * lines
Changed paths:
   D /a/file.tex

Later I wanted to undo this change and tried to follow [1].

But I got the following error.

$ LANG=C svn cp --revision 220 https://server/svn/z/a/file.tex .
svn: Unable to find repository location for 'https://server/svn/z/a/file.tex' 
in revision 220

Strangely yesterday the path looked a bit different.

svn: »/svn/z/!svn/bc/244/a/file.tex« Pfad nicht gefunden

Then I commited a change r245 and got with log.

$ svn log --revision 219 https://server/svn/z/a/file.tex
svn: »/svn/a/!svn/bc/245/a/file.tex« Pfad nicht gefunden

See how svn tries to look under path with the *current* revision number.
Maybe there is the culprit.

Anyway, after recreating the file manually I remembered to have access
to a different machine with a subversion package from etch. Everything
worked there as expected.

$ LANG=C dpkg -l libsvn1

$ svn cp --revision 220 https://server/svn/z/a/file.tex .

Do you have an idea, what might be the problem?


Thanks,

Paul
