Problem: transactions hanging in the middle

From: P.Marek <pmarek_at_cpan.org>

Hello everybody!

I tried to commit via a web-interface (php calling svn), and the permissions
were wrong; the user couldn't write to a file in the working copy to set
a new status, IIRC.

Now I've got a kind of problem:
1) I can't commit
2) I can't recover
3) svn st says the files are to be committed.

How can I get my working set working again?
(See near the end of this mail for the various outputs of svn)
This is svn #5697.

-

And, BTW, another question.
If there are several user with each a working set, the files therein
are mostly the same. (I'm speaking about ~500MB data, so ~1GB working set,
multiplied by some number of users ... a whole lotta bytes :-)

I've got a script which (hard-)links files if they have the same data.

As far as I see (using strace(), looking briefly into source) svn ALWAYS
creates a temporary file and renames that after modification.

So it should be safe to use the hardlinks, should it not?
Or am I missing something?
At least in the working copies there should be no harm; but if I may hardlink
the
text-base-files too, it would be a major saving.
(Say, from n users * 2 * 500MB to 500MB + 10% ...)

Any comments?
