Getting error when creating a branch

Hi all,

I’m using TortoiseSVN; trying to create a branch off my trunk; in the repository browser I was able to create the /branch folder, and then when I go to create the current branch with the current working copy I get this error:

Adding: C:\Projects\Event Application
Error: Commit failed (details follow):
Error: Server sent unexpected return value (403 Forbidden) in response to COPY request

Has anybody been able to create a branch successfully? Is there something special I need to do in this environment?

TIA!
Dana

Dana, I had some trouble a while back doing this.

Once you create the trunk and branches folder in your repository (maybe a tags folder too), I believe you have to re-checkout, and this time, checkout the trunk directory.

svn checkout http://svn.xp-dev.com/svn/username-repository/trunk/

Not sure if that is the problem, but it was the problem I was facing at the time.

hi dana – if you’re still stuck with this, do raise a support ticket with the details of your issues. Will be good if you could post the command you’re typing etc into the support ticket.
