SubTile Frequently Asked Questions

1. Q: I receive "Cannot initialize SVN" error message on SubTile startup, althogh I'm sure Subversion is installed. How do I fix it?
   A: Most likely SVN libs are not on PATH. You cam either add the SVN location (where libsvn_client lives) to your PATH environment variable manually or in SubTile open "Prefences -> SVN" and specify path to SVN in field "LibSVN installation path".
   Other reason could be that your SVN vendor uses non-standard names for library files, f.i. SlikSVN appends sliksvn- prefix to all library file names, if this is the case in your environment, you will need to set "LibSVN vendor" in "Prefences -> SVN". Currently only SlikSVN is supported, if you encounter other vendor with this strange habit, please create a ticket containing vendor URL and prefixes / suffixes used.
2. Q: Why does SubTile show "...cannot create tunnel..." or "...non-existent in revision..." error when I try to navigate through a repository?
   A: You are accessing the repository via "svn" or "svn+ssh" protocol, this may work but it requires fully compatible Subverion installation on client and server. Try to use command line SVN client from the same setup SubTile runs against and see if you can access repository URL in question - most likely it wouldn't work either. The only fix for it (if you have no administrative access to server) is installation of different SVN client libraries, better though try to use "https" protocol.
