Logging SVNKit operations

If you experience problems that you think are related to SVNKit, it is always a good idea to post a bug report into [http://svnkit.com/tracker/ SVNKit Issue Tracker]. To provide more information with the bug report, please consider attaching SVNKit log file to it. Below you will find detailed instructions on how to get SVNKit log files.

SVNKit is used as a library in a standalone application

By default SVNKit operations logging is switched off. To enable it, you should replace the contents of the JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/logging.properties file with the contents of the logging.properties.disabled file that you can find in your "standalone" archive or in the svnkit/cli/ directory in case you've checked out the SVNKit sources. Or when launching the Java VM you can use the following system property:

$java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=path/to/logging.properties.disabled

The logging.properties.disabled file contains a system property called svnkit.level which is used to control the log level. Up to your needs you can specify the following values for that property:

You may find an SVNKit log file in the USER_HOME/.svnkit directory, for example USER_HOME/.svnkit/.svnkit.0.0.log.
