Add SVN Sepository to local repository

[forummarcel]

hi everyone
i am using a local repository created with Tortoise SVN. after trying to connect from within Oxygens Syncro SVN Client to it by "Add a new repository" such as i.e. "file:///C:/SVNRepository/" the following error message appears: "Could not access the repository using the specified URL address!"

What is the error?

Best regards.

Hi,

I'm guessing you've used Tortoise SVN 1.8.x to create the local repository. That means you created a SVN 1.8 repository. Unfortunately Syncro SVN Client does not yet support SVN 1.8 (neither repositories, nor working copies). Note that working copies created/upgraded with Tortoise SVN 1.8.x won't be accessible in Syncro SVN Client either.
We do plan to support SVN 1.8 in a future version, but we depend on the SVNKit third party library which does not yet have a stable build that supports SVN 1.8.

If you want to create a local SVN repository that can be used with Syncro SVN Client at this time you can either:
- use the command line SVN tool (bundled with Tortoise SVN installer)

Code: Select all

svnadmin create C:\myRepositoryFolder --compatible-version 1.7

- use Tortoise SVN 1.7.x. You will probably have to uninstall Tortoise SVN 1.8.x first.

Regards,
Adrian
