As described in [0], SVN::Ra::get_dir errors out with Incorrect parameters given: Could not convert '%ld' into a number at /path/to/scriptname line X
with certain servers. [0]: https://bugs.debian.org/767530 This can also be demonstrated with a simple ls command -- svn ls http://www.virtualbox.org/svn/vbox/trunk/COPYING. The problem is that the server is responding to a PROPFIND request on the file with a malformed getcontentlength node: PROPFIND /svn/vbox/!svn/bc/53112/trunk/COPYING HTTP/1.1 Host: www.virtualbox.org User-Agent: SVN/1.8.10 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) serf/1.3.7 Content-Type: text/xml Accept-Encoding: gzip DAV: http://subversion.tigris.org/xmlns/dav/svn/depth DAV: http://subversion.tigris.org/xmlns/dav/svn/mergeinfo DAV: http://subversion.tigris.org/xmlns/dav/svn/log-revprops Depth: 0 Transfer-Encoding: chunked 12d <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><propfind xmlns="DAV:"><prop><resourcetype xmlns="DAV:"/><getcontentlength xmlns="DAV:"/><deadprop-count xmlns="http://subversion.tigris.org/xmlns/dav/"/><version-name xmlns="DAV:"/><creationdate xmlns="DAV:"/><creator-displayname xmlns="DAV:"/></prop></propfind> 0 HTTP/1.1 207 Multi-Status Date: Sat, 01 Nov 2014 03:59:48 GMT Server: Oracle-Application-Server-11g Content-Length: 670 Content-Type: text/xml; charset="utf-8" Content-Language: en <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <D:multistatus xmlns:D="DAV:" xmlns:ns1="http://subversion.tigris.org/xmlns/dav/"; xmlns:ns0="DAV:"> <D:response xmlns:lp1="DAV:" xmlns:lp2="http://subversion.tigris.org/xmlns/dav/";> <D:href>/svn/vbox/!svn/bc/53112/trunk/COPYING</D:href> <D:propstat> <D:prop> <lp1:resourcetype/> <lp1:getcontentlength>%ld</lp1:getcontentlength> <lp2:deadprop-count>1</lp2:deadprop-count> <lp1:version-name>35198</lp1:version-name> <lp1:creationdate>2010-12-16T16:24:25.075872Z</lp1:creationdate> <lp1:creator-displayname>vboxsync</lp1:creator-displayname> </D:prop> <D:status>HTTP/1.1 200 OK</D:status> </D:propstat> </D:response> </D:multistatus> This "worked" prior to 1.7 because apr_atoi64 was less stringent about conversion errors. r993183 introduced svn_cstring_strtoi64 which now fails converting '%ld' to a number instead of treating it as 0. This was noticed because it breaks git-svn[1], although there is a proposed[2] workaround. While this is definitely a bug in whatever's sending the bad property value, it would be nice to gracefully handle this as was happening pre-1.7 (albeit intentional this time rather than accidental), but at the very least better error reporting would be useful here.
