#5 Updated by Gregor Schmidt about 10 years ago

The basic problem seems to be an incompatibility of the URL RFC1738 and Ruby's URI.escape. The former assumes square brackets unsafe, the latter treats them as safe characters. Therefore they are not properly escaped when building the SVN URL.

I will try to add a failing test and add the necessary escaping.

#6 Updated by Gregor Schmidt about 10 years ago

In the mean time I have added a bug report to Ruby.

#7 Updated by Gregor Schmidt about 10 years ago

Attached you may find a patch adding a test case and a possible fix.

I had to change the svn test repository, so please regenerate it after applying the patch with 

rm -fr tmp/test/subversion_repository
rake test:scm:setup:subversion

#8 Updated by Gregor Schmidt about 10 years ago

For those prefering git, here is the same patch in gits format-patch format.

#9 Updated by Gregor Schmidt about 10 years ago

Please note, that the fix breaks support for IPv6-Urls. But I think those are currently less likely to occur than square brackets.

IPv6 support may be fixed once Ruby issue #3457 is solved.

#10 Updated by Gregor Schmidt about 10 years ago

Another functional test was affected by the change in the test repository. Attached are updated patch files.

#11 Updated by Eric Davis about 10 years ago

Committed in r3800, thank you for the bug report and patch.
