Hello All,
I'm working on the pure Java Subversion client library (JavaSVN). Recently
one of the users reported an exception that states that JavaSVN was not able
to rename .svn/tmp/entries to .svn/entries.
This rename operation is performed every time "entries" file is saved and
same approach with temorary file is used in the command line Subversion
client. First contents is saved to .svn/tmp/entries and then
.svn/tmp/entries is atomically renamed to .svn/entries. AFAIU, this may fail
in case .svn/entries is locked by some other program that reads from that
file or writes to it.
User reported that he runs TortoiseSVN and has TSVNCache.exe program running
and I think that ot could lock "entries" file and thus prevent renaming.
User's application performs addition of several thousands files and problem
is hardly reproducable, but sometimes it appears. User's OS is Windows XP.
User's version of TSVN is 1.2.1, build 3895. The latest version available is
1.2.2, build 4295. What I would like to ask is whether upgrading to the
newer version could solve that problem or should I instead modify JavaSVN to
handle failed renames (i.e. wait for 100ms and try to rename the file
again)?
Thanks!
