TracError: /Volume/Stuff/subversion/test_repo does not appear to be a Subversion repository.

test_repo is a subversion repository and i have tested it. it checks out and checks in when using apache. but trac fails to see the directory as a repository.

Please check MailingList or IrcChannel for help with support issues like the big red box says. When you do, be sure to give some relevant specifics, like

• how did you build the subversion bindings
• what version are they
• what version of subversion created the repository
• what version of Trac are you running

Closing as worksforme since it sounds like an installation issue.
