This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
When running a diff and getting the list of file changes, any that are marked as status "remotely new" cannot be viewed. It used to be that in NB6.9 and early (I think that was the version) - if you did a diff on a remotely new file you could view the file. Now you just get an error saying the local file can't be found - which obviously it can't. This is really annoying as it means the only way to view the new file is to check it out - it is now impossible to view it beforehand. This is a backward step as I'm sure in older versions of Netbeans you could.
Are you using svn 1.7?
(In reply to comment #1) > Are you using svn 1.7? No. svn, version 1.6.9 (r901367)
They please attach the messages log with the error.
(In reply to comment #3) > They please attach the messages log with the error. This is what it says in the SVN output window... The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. svn: Can't check path 'svn://win2008-cat/Repository/Xalerts%206/trunk/Xalerts%20MMC%20Project/Business%20Layer/src/com/categoric/businesslayer/entities/PasswordHistory.java': The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
