[PATCH] git svn branch fails with authenticaton failures

Hiroshi Shirosaki· Feb 22, 2017, 02:37 UTC · lore

I have the following authentication failure while svn rebase and svn dcommit works fine without authentication failures.

$ git svn branch v7_3 Copying https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx at r27519 to https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/v7_3... Can't create session: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx': No more credentials or we tried too many times. Authentication failed at C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64/libexec/git-core\git-svn line 1200.

I can workaround the issue to add auth configuration to
SVN::Client->new().

Missing sign-off (see Documentation/SubmittingPatches). Not my rule, but it's unfortunately required for this project.

Also, the Subject: should be in the imperative mood, Perhaps something like:

Subject: [PATCH] git svn: fix authentication with 'branch'

I am less picky about the message body.

Show 7 quoted lines

Since we're not using it, here, you can avoid setting a variable for $callbacks more explicitly:

	my ($config, $baton, undef) = Git::SVN::Ra::prepare_config_once();

Show 10 quoted lines

Anyways, this looks like a good change. I will accept a v2 with your sign-off and changes noted above. Thank you.
