Daniel, I find the current error display really ... weighty, for lack of a better term. It's difficult to pick out the meat of the message amongst the overwhelming amount of repetitive, all-caps symbolic names of error codes.
Something to consider: omit the symbolic name from the printed error lines, but after the final error stack level is printed, print a mapping of codes to names. So, rather than this: subversion/svn/checkout-cmd.c:168: (apr_err=SVN_ERR_RA_LOCAL_REPOS_OPEN_FAILED) subversion/libsvn_client/checkout.c:197: (apr_err=SVN_ERR_RA_LOCAL_REPOS_OPEN_FAILED) subversion/libsvn_client/checkout.c:100: (apr_err=SVN_ERR_RA_LOCAL_REPOS_OPEN_FAILED) subversion/libsvn_client/ra.c:541: (apr_err=SVN_ERR_RA_LOCAL_REPOS_OPEN_FAILED) subversion/libsvn_client/ra.c:393: (apr_err=SVN_ERR_RA_LOCAL_REPOS_OPEN_FAILED) subversion/libsvn_ra/ra_loader.c:482: (apr_err=SVN_ERR_RA_LOCAL_REPOS_OPEN_FAILED) svn: E180001: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'file:///home/cmpilato/tests/arch' subversion/libsvn_ra_local/ra_plugin.c:578: (apr_err=SVN_ERR_RA_LOCAL_REPOS_OPEN_FAILED) svn: E180001: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL subversion/libsvn_ra_local/split_url.c:46: (apr_err=SVN_ERR_RA_LOCAL_REPOS_OPEN_FAILED) svn: E180001: Unable to open repository 'file:///home/cmpilato/tests/arch' Do this: subversion/svn/checkout-cmd.c:168 (apr_err=180001) subversion/libsvn_client/checkout.c:197 (apr_err=180001) subversion/libsvn_client/checkout.c:100 (apr_err=180001) subversion/libsvn_client/ra.c:541 (apr_err=180001) subversion/libsvn_client/ra.c:393 (apr_err=180001) subversion/libsvn_ra/ra_loader.c:482 (apr_err=180001) svn: E180001: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'file:///home/cmpilato/tests/arch' subversion/libsvn_ra_local/ra_plugin.c:578 (apr_err=180001) svn: E180001: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL subversion/libsvn_ra_local/split_url.c:46 (apr_err=180001) svn: E180001: Unable to open repository 'file:///home/cmpilato/tests/arch' (E1800001 = SVN_ERR_RA_LOCAL_REPOS_OPEN_FAILED) And in release mode: svn: E180001: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'file:///home/cmpilato/tests/arch' svn: E180001: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL svn: E180001: Unable to open repository 'file:///home/cmpilato/tests/arch' (E1800001 = SVN_ERR_RA_LOCAL_REPOS_OPEN_FAILED) Now, that's not a great example of multiple codes, but (using a fictional error scenario) they'd be formatted like so (sorted numerically): svn: E180003: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'file:///home/cmpilato/tests/arch' svn: E180012: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL svn: E180001: Unable to open repository 'file:///home/cmpilato/tests/arch' (E1800001 = SVN_ERR_RA_LOCAL_REPOS_OPEN_FAILED) (E1800003 = SVN_ERR_SOMETHING_ELSE) (E1800012 = SVN_ERR_YET_ANOTHER_FAILURE) Thoughts? -- C.
