Debugging SSL-related problems for SVN repositories

When experiencing problems to connect to SVN repositories over the https-protocol, it can be helpful to debug Java’s networking layer. To do that, first add the system property javax.net.debug=ssl to the smartgit.properties file. After that, restart SmartGit from the command line and pipe the output to a file:

• On Windows: execute <install-dir>\bin\smartgitc.exe > dump.txt.
• On Mac OS: execute <install-dir>/Contents/MacOS/SmartGit > dump.txt.
• On Linux: execute <install-dir>/bin/smartgit.sh > dump.txt.

Finally, verify that dump.txt contains SSL-related output.

How to send the dump.txt file: Compress the dump.txt file as a zip or tar/gzip archive, and also include the zipped log directory from SmartGit’s settings directory. Send this archive, as well as a short description of how to reproduce the problem, to [email protected].
