We're moving our version control from some old VCS to SVN, for ease of integration with IDE's (we're using both NetBeans and IBM RAD).
In doing so, I set up a local repository with SlikSVN for win64 and started a server with the command svnserve -d -r c:\repo\test
. I defined a basic group with an user-password pair (no anonymous access allowed). My authz is as follows:
[groups]
li_users=alessandro
[/]
@li_users=rw
I then created a test project on both RAD (fitted with Subclipse 1.8) and NetBeans and tried to import it into the newly created repository, with the following outcomes:
org.tigris.subversion.javahl.ClientException: URL 'svn://localhost/TestProject' doesn't exist
Funny thing is, when I browse my repository by any means, including clicking the "Browse" button on the import wizard, it shows the "TestProject" directory and I can't create another with the same name. Also, if I create (with the "Into a new Folder") and try to use another directory, it gives me the same error.
What's wrong there? I searched and it seems to be a bug with NetBeans, but I can't find a way around this bug. Thanks in advance.
Apparently, falling back to Subversion 1.6 is the only way to go, at least until NetBeans catches up with 1.7.
