Error setting property 'externals' message on SVN Commit

Question

I've added svn:externals for a project in subversion, hosted on github. But when I attempt to commit the project I get the following message:

Error Commit failed (details follow): Error At least one property change failed; repository is unchanged Error Error setting property 'externals'; Error Could not execute PROPPATCH

I tried both committing with command line and with SVNX. I tried propedit-ing the svn:externals with vim and adding a new line at the end. No luck. This is the first time I use svn:externals. Any idea?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Answer 1

I sent a message to github support to make sure and they confirmed that they don't support svn:externals, so that is probably the reason for the error.

So I might find another host, as externals would be extremely useful for me.

Now, if anybody has information about how to access the github svn server logs, I would be interested, as I might have been able to figure it out myself.

Thanks
