I have CollabNet Subversion server and client installed, running off of Apache that came with it. From the command line on the server, I can easily access the repository using a path like
http://server:port/svn/repository
but I can't access it using its actual location on the disk, like
c:\repositories\repository
I just get "[path] is not a working copy." What am I misunderstanding?
Common mistake. You have to use the file:// pseudo-protocol like this:
file:///C:/repositories/repository
SVN repository paths have to be URIs.
Try:
svn checkout "file:///C|/repositories/repository"
and see if you can see the files inside the repo.
You should be able to use file:///c:\repositories\repository to access a repository via path.
Usually "not a working copy" means that there's no .svn "magic subdirectory" there.
You need to do a "checkout" to get a working copy, and not just an "export"
