Re: ViewCVS (http://svn.debian.org/viewcvs/d-i/) broken

[John Carmichael <John.Carmichael-Jr@uvm.edu>]

I've never used ViewCVS with subversion, but I did run into similar 
sounding error messages when using subversion on a recent project.  The 
issues were related to lock files which subversion creates.  Sometimes 
they got stuck and I would have to run svn admin recover.  This removed 
the locks, but I then had to change the permissions on that folder so 
that svn could continue to run.  Weird, but not overly complex.  In your 
subversion folder you should have a locks folder.  Try changing the 
permissions on that so that what ever user ViewCVS is running as has 
access.  Just a guess.
