Question

I have some problems with SVN. Can anybody help me?

When I tray to merge branch to trunk i get flowing error:

Server sent unexpected return value (403 Forbidden) in response to OPTIONS

Same error get when tray to create new tag or branch. I have Read/write permisions.

I use VisualSVN and TortoiseSVN.

403 Forbidden is one of the HTTP Status Codes. As per the definition:

The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it. Authorization will not help and the request SHOULD NOT be repeated. If the request method was not HEAD and the server wishes to make public why the request has not been fulfilled, it SHOULD describe the reason for the refusal in the entity. If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 404 (Not Found) can be used instead.

I imagine that your repository is something like http://server/repo/project/ so try browsing that URL with your regular browser. Maybe is not related to Subversion authentication but HTTP authentication.

I know it is not a good answer, but it might give you a hint to expand the question 🙂
