Revision log is broken when trying to view the root of a virtual repository

[sean.dawson@…]

I've set my trac.ini as follows:

repository_dir = /some/path/to/repo/project1

where /some/path/to/repo is the physical path of my repository, and project1 is a versioned directory inside the repository. Clicking "Browse Source" correctly displays project1 as the new root, but clicking "Revision Log" results in an error:

The file or directory '/' doesn't exist at revision xxx or at any previous revision.

Note: the revision log works properly for any path under root; only for root does it give the error. I tried to dig around and determine if the scope wasn't being added properly, but I didn't look very hard :)

I think this is a duplicate of #1830. I've not yet seen any problems with subsets of a repository that are fully self-contained, but have seen exactly the problem you're reporting with those that aren't.

Maybe the root directory in this case was copied from a path outside the scope?

Anyway, can you test the patch attached to #1830 and see if that fixes the problem for you?

[Christopher Lenz]

Just noticed that I'm seeing this problem at my own site, and it's not because the selected repository subset is not self-contained.

#2046 is a duplicate of this one. It has the relevant traceback from the Trac log.

get_path_history now takes into account the repository scope

I've attached a fix​, which also contains a big bunch of unit-tests for the scoped repository situation.

cboos, that patch looks good and works for me. Nice work! Feel free to check this in.

Thanks! Patch applied in r2311.
