 * Hello
 * I recently developed a plugin of mine and requested wordpress.org to add it into
   the plugins repository, after a few hours of submission I got a confirmation 
   email from wordpress that my plugin is approved and I can submit it to the SVN
   repository through the same usr/psw of forums.
 * I performed each and every step said in the help file and now its around two 
   days, I am unable to update my repository space, the error I got on commit is:
 * `Commit Failed: Server send unexpected return value (403 forbidden) in response
   to CHECKOUT request ...`

 * Can you try changing your passwords on the forums, and see if that kicks it into
   working?

 * Ipstenu thanks for your reply, but I have already tried changing my password 
   and password reset as well.
 * I write to the plugin support but they just replied one of my emails and after
   that it looks like there isn’t any support for us developers.

 * There kinda sorta is 🙂
 * Are you using any capital letters in your username? It’s case sensitive, and 
   I remember this being a problem before.

 * No, but to be very honest I don’t remember what exactly I set my username as 
   while registering for this forum. I have already tried with all caps, first word
   capital and all other sequences. None of them actually worked.
 * I searched a lot on different forums and a few people said this happens when 
   the profile is not actually activated for the SVN.
 * It would be really great if you can check my username and provide me the exact
   as you are the mod here or I have to create another profile and submit my plugin
   once again – Will this work?
 * I’ll be waiting for your reply.

 * Protip – it’s osamashabrez (ALL lowercase)
 * You can tell by going to your profile – [http://wordpress.org/support/profile/osamashabrez](http://wordpress.org/support/profile/osamashabrez)
 * Don’t need to be a mod for that one!

 * OK I have uploaded my plugin successfully via another plugin submission request,
   I guess culprit was the bad url structure which I didn’t care about as I was 
   aware how wp will gonna treat with the plugin’s name.
 * Problem solved anyways, and thanks Ipstenu for you kind response and time.
 * Cheers.
