Bug#340234: subversion: prompt user in case of http redirect

[Peter 'p2' De Schrijver]

Package: subversion
Version: 1.0.6-2
Severity: wishlist


It would be nice if svn would prompt the user to connect to a redirected
URL instead of just dumping the somewhat cryptic error message as shown
in the following example :

p2 at codecarver:~/abcde$ svn co http://svn.hispalinux.es:8080/svn/abcde/trunk
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/abcde/trunk'
svn: PROPFIND of '/svn/abcde/trunk': 302 Found
(http://svn.hispalinux.es:8080)
