Thread: Revision histories invisible to non-administrators after conversion




Revision histories invisible to non-administrators after conversion
user name

We've recently completed the conversion of our CVS
repositories, and we're
encountering a frustrating problem: revision histories are
appearing only
for administrators. Members of any non-administration group
are shown only
one revision - the addition of the file to the svn
repository.

I have found several references to similar problems in the
list archives,
but no explanations or clues on diagnosing the source of the
problem. I also
can't see any reason why user permissions should affect the
ability to view
revision histories, although I worry that the conversion was
somehow
performed incorrectly.

Does this issue ring a bell for any more experienced SVN
admins?

Thank you!

This cannot really have anything to do with the repository
conversion.
cvs2svn doesn't do anything related to SVN permissions.

I think you should check your SVN setup.  FWIW, if a user
does not have
read access to a part of the repository, then they will not
be able to
see any revisions that happened within that part.

But you should consult with the svn users' mailing list for
more help.
