I’m having a little bit of difficulty deploying my app. I’ve run the  
setup and it works with Cap, but when I try to deploy it hangs at  
“querying latest revision”. I can access my svn locally (I’m on a  
windows xp sp2 machine) using SubClipse plugin, but not through the  
command line though (yes, svn client is installed).

I’m pretty sure that it’s some sort of odd svn config that I need to  
make but I’ve poured over all the documentation at hand, and I’m out of  
ideas. I can create an svn tunnel using:

svn+ssh://removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid svnserve -t

that works, but for some reason everything else hangs. Any ideas would  
be greatly appreciated.

Joshua,

What happens when you try to access your svn repository via the  
command line?

It just hangs, no errors or anything.

I read in the Pragmatic Programmers book on Subversion that if the  
tunnel works everything should be okay. I’m just struggling with piece  
for some reason.

For example, I’ll do svn list  
svn+ssh://serverip/home/username/svn/app/trunk  
and it will ask me for my password and then just hang.

Make sure you can ssh (“create an svn tunnel”) on your server as well as  
on your client machine.
