[Qgis-community-team] svn commit fail - 403 error

[Anne Ghisla]

Hello

please excuse me for noobness. Gary certifies that everything is OK on 
server side, and this is what I did:

on Debian testing, svn version 1.5:
$ svn co --username aghisla https://svn.osgeo.org/qgis/docs/trunk/english_us
[edits]
$ svn commit
Password for 'anne':
[hit Enter, as it is the wrong username. It asks new user and pw, give 
OSGeo ID, but returns]
Error: Server sent unexpected return value (403 Forbidden) in response 
to MKACTIVITY request for 
'/qgis/!svn/act/cff87233-f5a8-cf45-baaa-acb6e417d79c'

The same error is raised by TortoiseSVN 1.5.8, Build 15348 on Windows XP.

I checked on the web for this error and found that it is caused by case 
mismatches (and it is not the case) or commit on http instead of https 
(also checked and rejected).

Can anyone show me a working configuration, maybe adding info on the 
wiki [0]? I won't burden Carson or Otto with my commits.

many thanks and apologies for half-operativeness,

Anne
