I recently setup a SVN server with http as transport protocol (apache2, dav_svn,etc. ). The server seems to be working fine. I also created an authz file and various users. Now I want to debug, if my configuration is working as expected.
When I access the svn via a web browser as different users ("admin"/"user") I see the expected directories. No problem. I guess the server configuration is correct.
However, I experienced something very strange on my client machine (which is a Mac) when using the svn tool on the shell:
svn co hxxp://user@a.b.c.d/mysvn userdir
... returns the correct directories or files the user should see.
svn co hxxp://admin@a.b.c.d/mysvn admindir
... returns the correct directories or files the admin should see.
I delete userdir and rerun
svn co hxxp://user@a.b.c.d/mysvn userdir
... now USER has access to all files; also to those files she should not see.
I checked back in the web browser and here everything is as expected. I am a tiny bit confused. Is this some kind of odd caching problem on client side of the svn tool? How can I purge the cache?
I googled quite a bit to find a solution but nothing came close to my problem.
