[TSVN] Re: 'File already exists' error message

From: Edward Diener <diener_at_ORsoftware.com>

Are you saying that the user may have renamed the file, only changing case,
before doing the commit, then chosen to Add the file when committing ?

If not, what would be a reasonable sequence for this error message ?

OK, I see another common situation. The user attempts to add a file which
another user has added and already committed, without having done an Update
in the meantime. Makes sense.

Thanks for your help !

Hi Edward,

The message already says it. The file that the person is trying to commit
already exists in the repository.
I'm afraid you ran into a case rename conflict. You had a file named
"Java.jar" and now it's called "java.jar". Tell the person to run an update
of his / her working copy first. Use the repository browser to check if the
file exists in the repository. Search the faq at
http://tortoisesvn.berlios.de for 'case rename'
