Hi
I want to make a Label in SVN - they call it a tag. I tried to use Subversion Copy as it is explained in the documentation. However I get an error - svn: Can't get password
I use the SVN Checkout without any problems. In both cases I put the username in the same way (wo don't use passwords at all). Has anyone tried using Subversion Copy ? and specifically for TAG?
Thanks Daphna
I am using FB 5.5.0.589

What options are you specifying? I tested here using VisualSVN Server with these options :
Source : [http://yak.office.vsoft.local:8080/svn/test](http://yak.office.vsoft.local:8080/svn/test)
Destination : [http://yak.office.vsoft.local:8080/svn/test/tags/test2](http://yak.office.vsoft.local:8080/svn/test/tags/test2)
Revision :
here’s the output I got :

source is : svn://mrbuilder/STP3/trunk/STPlatform
Destination is : svn://mrbuilder/STP3/tags/3.11.0.5\_B767
Working Folder is empty
This is my Output:
SVN Work Folder =

svn: Can't get password
Action Failed

As I have mentioned before, we work without Passwords, and other SVN actions work ok.
SVN Work Folder = C:\

Hi
I am using Subversion 1.4.5 and in some other place I got a message that it is too old, so this might be causing my problems. What version are you using?
