My guess
I was downloading the latest greatest Tortoises 1.7 and downloaded the tags/ANT_171 project. Then I tried to use an older subversion client to just list the content of the download, and it failed. and after that the mess starts, as an older built in version of NetBeans was also unable to do so. Then I deleted the download of ant_171 sources. I removed the latest greatest Tortoises and subversion client code. And I re-installed the previous Tortoise and subversion client and re-downloaded the ant_171 code Now IO can work as before, without problems. Josef - I was just a bit warned by the explicit statement read somewhere that one should be care full using this new version as there where sooooo many patches applied.

I am developing a software as part of my diploma thesis, which connects to an open Subversion repository and try to get some useful information for an open software project. The software I am developing use repository's logs and source codes to analyze the project based on some Software Engineering techniques I am developing. The problem I am facing lately is: I am using SVNKit to connect to http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/axis/axis2/java/core/trunk/ and I am trying to get all file revisions using method: SVNRepository.getFileRevision(filePath, null, 0, HEAD). While in the pas the code I am using worked fine for me, in the recent days the code produces an error: is not a file in revision. I already checked the filePath performing: svn cat -r HEAD filePath and it worked fine (the file is present in the last revision). I am afraid that I have been banned from ASF repository because I extensively used (anonymously) the code to perform tests in an hourly base, and while looking for a workaround I found at this location: http://www.apache.org/dev/version-control.html#poll the stated information. Do you have any idea on how to resolve this. Thank you for your help.
