[Bug 816738] Re: ~/.subversion directory created with root permissions

[Maarten Bezemer]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to
look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many
changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem
may have been fixed with some of the updates.

I never experienced this behavior, could it be that you run svn as root
(with sudo)?

It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported
Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload
the updated logs by running apport-collect 816738 and any other logs
that are relevant for this particular issue.

** Changed in: subversion (Ubuntu)

Title:
  ~/.subversion directory created with root permissions

Status in “subversion” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 and installed subversion subversion_1.6
  .12dfsg-4ubuntu2.1_amd64.deb and noticed that the ~/.subversion
  directory created is owned by root. This prevents changes required to
  save site certificates and passwords. The workaround is to change the
  ownership of the directory using chown -R ${USER}. ~/.subversion as
  described at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1390218 over a
  year ago.
