Hello, As I understand you want to export a file from a remote repository, so I assume that you have
SVNURL fileUrl; // URL of the file to export SVNKit has 2 client level APIs: the old one based on SVNXXXClient classes and the new one based on SvnOperationFactory class. I would recommend you to use the new one, as it is simplier and more extendable to the future SVN features (but both APIs are operational and work with all working copy formats 1.4-1.7). To export a file from 'fileUrl' to final File file = new File("c:/temp/xyz.components.war"); //always prefer '/' separator in SVNKit because it is easy to forget that one should use '\\' instead of '\' in paths final SvnOperationFactory svnOperationFactory = new SvnOperationFactory(); try{ final SvnExport export = svnOperationFactory.createExport(); export.setSource(SvnTarget.fromURL(fileUrl)); export.setSingleTarget(SvnTarget.fromFile(file)); export.setForce(true); //overwrite an existing file final Long revisionExported = export.run(); } finally { svnOperationFactory.dispose(); //close connection pool associted with this object } But if you really want to use the old API, use this code: final long revisionExported = updateClient.doExport(fileUrl, file, SVNRevision.HEAD, SVNRevision.HEAD, null, true, SVNDepth.INFINITY); doExport(Flie, File, ...) is also possible to export from a working copy, but I don't know any real life use-case for it. So I think this and single '\' that was treated as tab character ('\t') caused the exception. -- Dmitry Pavlenko, TMate Software, http://subgit.com/ - git-svn bridge > Hi folks, > > I'm a little new to subversion and SVNKit, so apologies for the noob > posting.
