I've tried changing the @ sign in the email address to @ (i.e. the URL-escaped version), and it then gives me a simple authorization failed error even though I correctly reentered the password.

I don't believe Subversion itself uses the "username@" part of an URL. It allows it, and strips the user name off, but looks elsewhere for user name. Xcode seems to insist on inserting your user name into the URL (there in the "Configure Repositories" section), but I suspect that under the covers it's still providing a "--username" parameter to /usr/bin/svn. Under that interpretation, your error message seems to imply that Xcode extracted up to the *first* "@" and tried to use that for --username, which of course failed because it's not your username. URL-escaping the "@" into "@" fails because --username doesn't take an URL, so no one's expecting to un-URL-escape it.

I've read that Xcode 3's SCM support was rewritten so that it uses the Subversion libraries directly (instead of spawning a task with the svn tool).


IOW, it seems very like this is an Xcode problem. Perhaps there's some way to escape that first "@" through Xcode? I'm totally guessing now, but try user\@emailhost and user\\@emailhost and a few of those. Also maybe \0100 (octal, C-style escape)?


Thanks, Jack. I just tried various combinations of your suggestions, and none worked.

It looks like Xcode just isn't parsing the username correctly. I've filed a bug.
