Description Caspar D.

I'm trying to close (i.e. remove) an old branch that I created myself
a while ago, but apparently there's some problem with my access rights:

# svn rm http://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/modeling/org.eclipse.emf.cdo/branches/cdegroot/options -m "Closing old branch for my .options files"

svn: access to '/svnroot/modeling/org.eclipse.emf.cdo/!svn/act/f510e608-327d-4b63-91cb-363916346e78' forbidden

Furthermore:

I could succesfully create this branch:

http://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/modeling/org.eclipse.emf.cdo/branches/cdegroot/test1

But I couldn't move it; so apparently 'svn mv' doesn't work for me either..
maybe because it implies a removal?

And more:

I could succesfully commit a newly added file, but it seems I can't
commit changes to existing files (on the branches I mentioned).

Ok, mystery resolved: I was accessing the server through HTTP instead of
HTTPS. Must have inadvertently lost the 'S' while copying URLs.

Thanks & apologies.
