I have just been looking back over this issue. Clearly there is more to it than a quick fix. Summary, based on reviewing the email thread: - FAIL: authz_tests.py 31 remove_access_after_commit - Patched in <https://svn.apache.org/r1898184>: in "text base sync" phase, ignore auth error while fetching any text base; continue with trying to fetch the rest. - While that change fixes that particular test case, it also seems to have regressed the failure mode of «svn cat iota@BASE» when iota is locally-modified and has no read access. On trunk that command displayed the base text; on this branch that command now errors out. - We started thinking about what other failure modes could now occur because of failures (including unauthorised, redirect, and others) at the hydrate phase. This is somewhat open ended; we don't have a simple answer to how this all should be taken care of consistently. I suggest: - revert the patch I applied, as it's papering over the problem in an incomplete way and so possibly causes more confusion than it fixes. - leave this issue open and come back to it later; it's an edge case not part of common work flows.
