Answer 1

I had this issue quite recently and found two things:

1. You've run out of space on the drive the repo is on. SVN fails with an access forbidden message then.
2. There's a permissions problem preventing access, you need to chmod through it.

Answer 2

I fix this issue due to user access permission.

I work with 2 more software developers and have this issue long time due to access to repositories with AD user configuration. When every 3 months change password the past password are cache in Visual SVN Manager. Then get this error of !svn/me

We change SVN Manager to don't use AD system and then we don't have more problems.

Please check that you set the read/write permissions in the user access file, e.g.

user1 = rw
user2 = rw

etc. for every user in the authz file, e.g.

/etc/apache2/dav_svn.authz

when using

AuthzSVNAccessFile /etc/apache2/dav_svn.authz

in

/etc/apache2/mods-available/dav_svn.conf

Answer 4

I just had the same Problem, and the solution was in the Pathname and Case. I checked some Projects out, and on the checkout I type a single Letter of the path with the wrong case:

Something like this: - http://svn.enterprise.org/svn/Repo/trunk/... (while I should have typed "repo", and not "Repo").

I could then make a "svn up" or "svn co" w/o problems. But when commiting (back to "Repo") the apache module, which check if I have write permission only knows the path "repo", and thus the error message.

My solution was to delete everything and checking out again with the right case in the SVN-URL. (svn switch could also works, the the Typo is far to the right)
