Hi,

So I finally got svn working with capistrano. However I’m having another  
problem now. When I do cap deploy, everything seems to be fine.  
Unfortunately the releases directory remains empty after svn did a  
checkout. 20070710112555 is never created ☹

When I run the same svn command manually with the same user, everything  
is fine.  
Any suggestions?

D:\webroot\mezza\_svn\>cap deploy

- executing task deploy
- executing task update  
\*\* transaction: start
- executing task update\_code
- querying latest revision…  
removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid’s password:
- executing “if [[! -d /jp/releases/20070710112555]]; then\n  
sv  
n export --no-auth-cache -q -r7  
svn+ssh://removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid/usr/local/sv  
n/mezza\_project/trunk /jp/releases/20070710112555 &&\n  
(test -e /jp  
/revisions.log || (touch /jp/revisions.log && chmod 666  
/jp/revisions.log)) && e  
cho `date +\"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S\"` $USER 7 20070710112555 \>\>

Ignore this post. Capistrano was just roling back because some tasks  
failed
