I have access to a subfolder in a repository, but cannot access the root repository (due to permissions). By using the Subversion "Search History..." action (using project context menu -> Subversion -> Search History...) and clicking the Search button, the history appears. But by expanding a revision in the history list a authentication window pops up and asks to enter the credentials for the root repository (as shown in the repository URL). As I do not have access to the root repo, I cannot authenticate and thus cannot look at the file changes. Subversion log: ==[IDE]== Oct 17, 2013 9:00:05 AM Searching History... ==[IDE]== Oct 17, 2013 9:00:07 AM Searching History... finished. svn: E170001: OPTIONS of '<ROOT_REPOSITORY>': 403 Forbidden (<REPOSITORY_URL>) svn: E170001: OPTIONS of '<ROOT_REPOSITORY>': 403 Forbidden (<REPOSITORY_URL>) ==[IDE]== Oct 17, 2013 9:00:13 AM Searching History... finished.
Please generate a thread dump while the authentication window is displayed. That will tell us from where the root repository folder is accessed.
Created attachment 141193 [details] Thread dump while the authentication window is displayed Added thread dump while the authentication window is displayed.
Created attachment 141195 [details] IDE Snapshot Added IDE Snapshot after the authentication window was closed. Couldn't take the Snapshot while it was open (authentication window requires focus). Hope that helps.
please try the fix as soon as it gets into a dev build fix: http://hg.netbeans.org/core-main/rev/fb37e67b38bc
I just tried to verify the fix using the latest nightly build (201310210001) and encountered a NullPointerException. See http://statistics.netbeans.org/analytics/exception.do?id=697138 for details. I will wait until this exception/bug is resolved, because it prevents me to see the history at all now.
I could verify the fix with nightly build 201310220001. The list works as expected (revision changes can be viewed, diffs can be performed, ...). Another thing I noticed is that the from and to revision browse buttons still try to access the root repository. I do not use them frequently but it would still be nice if this can be fixed too. Should I open another ticket for this? Thanks a lot for your effort. I appreciate it!

Yes please. And attach also the stacktrace of the error so i can find the place easily. thanks
