[news.eclipse.technology.subversive] Re: feature request: tagging with c

[craquerpro@xxxxxxxx (David Perez)]

Hi,

I have upgraded from Eclipse 3.3 to Eclipse 3.4.  We used to use before 
org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.core_1.2.4.

Subversive included with Ganymede works ok (I can synchronize, ....), but 
I'm unable to tag any project.  Before I didn't have any problem.

In the tag dialog, when I press the "Browse" button, I see this error 
message "An occurred while accessing the repository entry".
