# SVN commit fails

 * I’ve checked the posting rules, and I’m pretty sure this post fits them all.
 * I have a plugin in the WordPress repository. I’m the only developer. I’ve updated
   it several times the last few years. Now I can’t. My old SVN program (svnX) no
   longer seems to work, so I’ve moved to SmartSVN.
 * While I can browse the repository and checkout files in my plugin, I can’t commit
   any changed files. Each and every attempt ends with “Access to ‘/!svn/me’ forbidden”.
   I’ve tried http and https, I’ve double checked the case of the url, I’ve done
   everything I can think of. I really need to get these updates into the repository.
 * SVN sucks.
 * Here are a couple of relevant lines from the SVN log:
 * 276314 (2018-01-29 08:34:05,027) [WorkerThread-3] ERROR smartsvn.runnable – URL
   access forbidden for unknown reason
    svn: Commit failed (details follow): svn:
   Access to ‘/!svn/me’ forbidden
 * Any advice would be appreciated.
