#3 Fails to check out via the svn:// protocol

[Karl E. Jorgensen]

When trying to check out a project using the svn:// protocol, the authentication dialog presented does not allow the username to be entered (it's disabled).

As a result, the checkout fails.

Did some more testing. It works when checking out of an open/anonymous svn:// repos:
svn checkout svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/lisp

When trying to update an existing svn:// repository that uses authentication, the update windows pops up, I click on Update, and then it hangs, saying "Preparing to update" forever (see attachment).

Trying to do a checkout of an svn repository requiring authentication (using the svn:// protocol), the checkout window pops up, I click on Checkout and a windows pops up telling me that Subversion requires authentication for this repository, but the username field is greyed out, I can't specify my svn username. See attachment.

Hmmmm, I can't attach files to the ticket (or I'm blind).....

just committed a partial fix to subversion (rev 64). This should ensure that the username no longer is read-only.

However, the underlying problem still persists: It *should* be making use of the authentication information already stored in $HOME/.subversion , but for some reason it is just ignored!? So I'm leaving the bug open until we get to the bottom of it.

If it would help, I could probably setup a quick svn:// repository that requires authentication on my personal website for testing purposes. Please let me know, if yes, I could get that setup this weekend.

I no longer need a testing repository - i believe that the bug is not specific to the svn:// protocol, but rather general for anything that requires authentication :-|

I'm currently setting up self tests to emulate this as part of (what will become) normal regression testing.

Hi Karl.

I've just updated the latest version (0.5) and I can update and checkout from our svn:// repositories fine now.

Thanks
Todd
