Question

I have a few repos on a Windows network drive and I can check them out to my windows machine just fine.

The URL I'm using to checkout onto Windows is: file:///Y:/project%20abc/svn/trunk, where Y: is a mapped drive.

When it comes to Mac OS X I can browse the Samba share using Finder, that's fine. For the checkout I'm using the following: svn co /Volumes/Share/Path/project\ abc/svn/trunk abc. But I'm told that '/Volumes/Share/Path/project\ abc/svn/trunk' does not appear to be a URL.

I've also tried svn co file://Volumes/Share/Path/project \abc/svn/trunk abc but I'm told Local URL 'file://volumes/Share/Path/project%20abc/svn/trunk' contains unsupported hostname.

Can anyone suggest a fix? Thanks!

Was it helpful?

Solution

You need the third slash as you omit the hostname as you say youself:

svn co file:///Volumes/Share/Path/project \abc/svn/trunk abc
