So far I have configured our Continua CI install to have a configuration per branch (each configuration with its own repository) and cloning each time a new branch is added.  
This was primarily so that it was a easier transition from Finalbuilder.  
  
I’m experimenting with using a single repostiory/configuration and using the branches ‘by pattern’ option but I’m not getting very far. Our ‘newlook’ repository structure is:  
  
[http://looksubversion/svn/looksoftware/newlook/trunk/](http://looksubversion/svn/looksoftware/newlook/trunk/)  
[http://looksubversion/svn/looksoftware/newlook/branches/](http://looksubversion/svn/looksoftware/newlook/branches/)  
  
However when I set the repository URL to ‘[http://looksubversion/svn/looksoftware](http://looksubversion/svn/looksoftware)’ and the default branch to ‘/newlook/trunk’ is says it can’t find it:  
  
Trigger ‘Source Trigger’ on configuration ‘branches’ failed to start build because the repository default branch ‘/newlook/trunk/’ for repository ‘newlook’ was not found.  
  
Any ideas?

Hi Simon,  
  
I don’t see anything wrong with your settings. Have you got the correct case for the branch? Subversion is case-sensitive - it won’t find the branch if it is the wrong case.  
  
Otherwise can you check if there any relevant errors in the event log? If not, I think we’ll need a debug log to investigate further. If you can [enable debug logging](http://wiki.finalbuilder.com/display/continua/Debug+Logging), restart the Continua CI Server service, reset the repository and then send the log file to [support@finalbuilder.com](mailto:support@finalbuilder.com), we’ll look into this further.
