Why does StatSVN fail, claiming the directory is not a working copy?

Question

I have a working copy of my project, checked out using Subversion 1.5.1. When I attempt to run StatSVN against it, I get the following error:

Sep 18, 2008 12:25:22 PM net.sf.statsvn.util.JavaUtilTaskLogger info INFO: StatSVN - SVN statistics generation

Sep 18, 2008 12:25:22 PM net.sf.statsvn.util.JavaUtilTaskLogger info INFO: svn: '.' is not a working copy Sep 18, 2008 12:25:22 PM net.sf.statsvn.util.JavaUtilTaskLogger error SEVERE: Repository root not available - verify that the project was checked out with svn version 1.3.0 or above.

Has anyone experienced this? I've seen suggestions it might be related to using a locale other than en_US, but I am using en_US.

Answer 1

Just guessing here, but are you sure that statSVN is compatible with working copies created with version 1.5 of the client? The format changed with svn 1.5...
