There is a small bug in IE that makes $.text() return garbage text at end, in case you have a bug that you cannot nail down, debug the problem using: alert(encodeURIComponent($.text(...))); that will show any hidden character.

svnsync: PROPFIND of '....': Server certificate verification failed: issuer is not trusted

One of my friends add a SSL in his SVN, and I got Server certificate verification failed: issuer is not trusted

# svnsync --non-interactive sync

svnsync: PROPFIND request failed on '.....'

svnsync: PROPFIND of '....': Server certificate verification failed: issuer is not trusted ()

To fix, run svnsync without "--non-interactive", that will prompt you to store the cert (p)ermanently in the .subversion directory. Example:

# svnsync sync
