How to debug something in TortoiseSVN?

Question

We currently face a strange problem on one desk that TortoiseSVN allows ot open "Show log", but closes that without any action by the user. To help solving that question, I would like to "Debug" TortoiseSVN.

Is there an easy way to debug TortoiseSVN? Here are some of the requirements:

• Allow to write a debug log file
• Control where that file is written
• If possible, tailor what should be written

Answer 1

Enable the debug output via the settings dialog: Settings dialog -> Advanced -> DebugOutputString (set to true)

After that, use DebugView to log all the debug output messages.
