I tried to reopen this issue on the developer list in the
"Issue #3119 - File '...' already exists" (Regression since 1.5.0)" thread
on the development list.
http://subversion.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=462&dsMessageId=985
284
We did some research but the thread died on the major problem that we can't
reproduce it at will.
To fully resolve this issue we really need a script that can reproduce the
issue every (or at least some of the) time.
I'm just guessing but maybe the following factors might help us:
* Which server versions have the issue? (1.5.x?) (1.4.x?)
* The issue was reported only to client versions after 1.5.0. Did somebody
reproduce it with a trunk build?
Original reporters, please fill in the missing details... we need your help
to resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Bert
