Tortoise SVN Version 1.7.7.17493 - show log not working

Question

With subversion when i commit (with log message) all works well and when try 'show log' throws a windows saying want to go offine ? where as i can browse repository.

Answer 1

This solution worked for me when Tortoise SVN > Show Log .. crashed and kept saying "Not Responding." It was either due to clicking "Clear" on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th button. Because I tried the 5th button (Authentication Data > "Clear" button) and did not resolve my issue. After resolving this issue, I can now see all revisions when choosing the "Show Log" option and the dialog doesn't crash.

Solution:

Right click any file in Windows (XP in my case) > TortoiseSVN > Settings > Saved Data > I clicked "Clear" for all "Clear" buttons.

This also helped me to look into the permission issue. But it looks like the server may have been busy returning after timeout to display this message. I had the user retry after a few hours since at the time, there was some testing going on on that server.
