Okay.. Sorry I didn't just reply to the thread but my companies exchange
server blew up on Friday.. (grrr).. and it looks like exchange is
sending my emails out via an un-subscribed address so I had to resend
this.. Oh well.. Need to install postfix... Anyway)
I will try to include the details that were asked for by Ben John and
Karl.
The merge command I was running (as well as the output) is below:
$ svn merge ./@HEAD ../../webstage/images/@HEAD --dry-run
svn: Use --force to override this restriction
svn: 'border_dots-4x4-1.gif' is not under version control
Now this is not the same file it was croaking on previously.. This is a
one that was recently added to the repository. The file IS in the
webstage "branch" in subversion, it's in the WC and I took out a fresh
copy to be sure.
When I take out the "--dry-run" I get the following:
$ svn merge ./@HEAD ../../webstage/images/@HEAD
A border_dots-4x4-1.gif
A border_dots-4x4-2.gif
A customer_centric_book.gif
A linked_book.jpg
D news_images/usatoday-sm.gif
D news_images/ny_times_sm.gif
D news_images
D news_images
svn: Revision 134621606 doesn't match existing revision 88 in
'news_images'
Now the "news_images" directory is in BOTH "branches" and it's deleting
it?
If I run this merge from the root of the two WC's I get basically the
same result, except that the big revision # is 134621588 instead of
134621606
Now it looks like this may not be a unique issue.. I say that because
Francois Beausoleil [fbos@users.sourceforge.net] posted to the user list
today that he was having a similar inconsistency between merges with
"--dry-run" and without. His seemed to be merging correctly without the
"--dry-run"; though I suspect if he commits a few more items
(directories esp.) it will become as bad as mine. (as everything new
that I add seems to be showing this problem).
Is this a better bit of information for you? Please let me know anything
else you might need.. I can provide _some_ of the content but in reality
I don't think the content itself is the specific trigger as it seems
everything added is screwing up on merges (though I have been wary to do
too much experimenting )
Thanks for the help.

--------- ORIGINAL MESSAGE --------------
UPDATE: I have installed 0.37.0 and the problem remains (I even went
through all the different steps to try and work the problem out of the
system)
--------------------
Sorry for the cross-post but I am not sure if this is a low-level error
that the dev's would have more knowledge of.
I have a subversion repo for my company's website.. And up until today
everything was going great.. I am about to shoot the thing today
however.
Before I get into that though here is the specs:
- Gentoo Linux w/ 2.4.21 kernel
- SVN 0.35.1 (haven't been able to get 0.37.0 to compile yet)
- Apache 2.0.48 (using mod_svn for all repo access)
- DB 4.0.14 (same as apache is compiled against)
We have a repos with two directories. One for our "staging" server, and
one for the "active" server.
Well I tried doing a merge from the staging branch to the active branch
and for some reason it complains of on file
"images/something_something_something.gif" is not under version control.
Well that's odd to begin with. So I did svn cleanup's on both WC's,
re-checked both WC's out from scratch, reloaded the repo from a current
backup, reloaded the repo from the backup just before the file was added
and repeated all the commits between that and HEAD (only 10 or so) and
still I get the same error..
I am at my wits end here..
Anyone have any brilliant ideas that I may have overlooked?? Please :-D.
