[svn] creating branches?

Hello, Do I need a special permission to create branches in the Boost SVN repository under the branches/ folder (I have read/write permissions) ? I just tried and I'm getting the following: Error: MKACTIVITY of '/svn/boost/!svn/act/61476d52-5ac2-7d42-a98b-eb1ac421fec1': 403 Forbidden (http://svn.boost.org) My level of SVN expertise is "dumb rookie", so please bear with me if I'm doing something really stupid :) Thank you, Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo

You need to do a check out with 'https'.

If you have already got a working copy you can do an svn switch --relocate http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost to avoid having to check out again. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

Hi David, thanks for the pointer, that got me half way to succesful branching... Now I'm trying to branch (with Tortoise GUI) from https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/boost/archive to https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/branches/serialization_helper_support/boost/... and the following error shows: Error: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/boost/!svn/bc/48735/branches/serialization_helper_support' Error: '/svn/boost/!svn/bc/48735/branches/serialization_helper_support' path not found ?? Thank you! Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo

Sorry, I can't help you with Tortoise; I only know the canonical command-line interface. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

The problem, I think, is irrespective of the UI used. I thin Joaquin needs to create the parent directories of the copy/branch as svn wont create those for you. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org (msn) - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim,yahoo,skype,efnet,gmail

René, that was indeed the case, I finally figured it out after some playing around with Tortoise and now I'm happily branching. Thank you both for your support. Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo
