[knowledgeforge-user] Issues with svn and knowledgeforge

Fri Dec 19 09:16:49 UTC 2008

Interesting fact is that you are using svn >= 1.5. It is on machines
with svn client >= 1.5 that I have had issues (while no issues where
svn < 1.5 ...).

I will keep investigating but difficult as I can't find anything very
useful about this error via search engines ...
