G'day,

Just opened an existing repository to find out why repo change triggers were not firing and I got the following when I tried to validate the existing configuration.

Date: Wednesday, 31 July 2013  
Time: 1:05:44 PM

Message:

What was the uri for the repo?

It’s from the Event log, so it hasn’t indicated the offending URI in the log, but I think it is “[https://jenasys.kilnhg.com/Code/Jenasys/DotNet\_Shared/Data](https://jenasys.kilnhg.com/Code/Jenasys/DotNet_Shared/Data)”

Hmm… can’t reproduce the error here with that url. I have added exception handling around the line where the uri was being constructed, hopefully that will tell us what the real error is.
