Jeez Louise -- I peed away the whole night on this. Read about 70 messages
on various lists with various people on Windows having the symptom. Most
threads eventually fizzled out without a cure being found. The others had a
variety of causes, none of which applied to me. Finally hit paydirt at the
very end of:
http://www.contactor.se/~dast/svnusers/archive-2004-02/1053.shtml
which is a guide to setting up an svn *server* on Windows.
The ultimate problem was that my user name on zope.org is tim_one, but
that's not what svn on Windows thinks my user name is. In fact, I still
have no idea what svn makes up for that, but it ain't tim_one.
Things that don't work:
+ The svn --username switch:
svn co --username tim_one svn+ssh://svn.zope.org/repos/main/ZConfig/trunk
svn: Connection closed unexpectedly
The link above warned that this wouldn't work, which opened the
floodgates.
+ Embedding my user name in the URL:
svn co svn+ssh://tim_one@svn.zope.org/repos/main/ZConfig/trunk
svn: Connection closed unexpectedly
+ Setting the USERNAME envar (which WinXP sets automatically, and here
I'm overriding it):
set USERNAME=tim_one
svn co svn+ssh://svn.zope.org/repos/main/ZConfig/trunk
svn: Connection closed unexpectedly
+ Setting the Unixish LOGNAME envar, in poke-and-hope desperation:
set LOGNAME=tim_one
svn co svn+ssh://svn.zope.org/repos/main/ZConfig/trunk
svn: Connection closed unexpectedly
+ Adding
host svn.zope.org
user tim_one
to an .ssh\config file. I think that *should* have worked, but
it's probably a limitation of the specific for-Windows ssh.exe I'm
using here (but which has worked fine with CVS for years, and without
a config file).
Finally (give up <wink>?), what does work:
+ Setting the SVN_SSH envar appropriately:
set SVN_SSH=ssh -l tim_one
svn co svn+ssh://svn.zope.org/repos/main/ZConfig/trunk
A trunk\info.py
A trunk\datatypes.py
...
Aarghghgh. Here's another that works, and this is the best:
+ Adding
Host svn.zope.org
User tim_one
to an .ssh\config file.
I tried that after reading a man page for SSH_CONFIG. It claimed that the
keywords were case-insensitive, so I figured whoever wrote the Windows
implementation must have screwed that up -- and, apparently, they did!
