Hi Paul, It is clear that a better error message can clearly help us to understand what is going wrong. :-) Right now, i have no clue about what's happening. I know that i improved a little bit the code in trunk for repository management but i think this is not in branch. And i also need to check if the error message are more explicit or not. That's sure is that it should work (yes i know it does not help ;-). I am currently on travel but as soon as i will be back i will try to have a look. Sorry for not being able to do more right now.
