[oXygen-user] trouble with oxygen svn client

[Sorin Ristache]

Hello,

Do you mean that you tried to load the working copy created with the
Oxygen SVN client in other SVN client tool and that failed? It should
not fail as including the server port in a URL is a perfectly valid way
of telling the clients where the server can be contacted. I think the
behavior of the Oxygen SVN client is correct: it creates a SVN working
copy with administrative files containing a valid URL.

The message 'Connection error' is too general. Are there more details
about the cause of the error, maybe a stack trace in a log file?


Regards,
Sorin
