What is the appropriate action to take when running svn cleanup in a working
copy, but there is a KILLME file which already exists? I couldn't find any
documentation about it online.
I managed to get in this state by trying to commit a deleted directory. The
commit did actually complete (I confirmed this through the web-based interface),
but somehow the working copy did not get updated. The directory was then
locked and I couldn't do anything to it (svn update). I tried running svn
cleanup, but thats when I got the error messages about the KILLME file. I
then tried renaming the KILLME file, and running svn cleanup again, and
then everything seemed to be fine in the working copy.
I am running Win2K SP3, Apache 2.0.48, Subversion 1.0.0 mod_dav_svn.
Output From RapidSVN 0.5:
Execute: Cleanup
Error while performing action: In directory
'C:/svnWC/trunk/src/com/lmco/ogc/filter'
Error processing command 'committed' in
'C:/svnWC/trunk/src/com/lmco/ogc/filter'
Can't open file 'C:/svnWC/trunk/src/com/lmco/ogc/filter/.svn/KILLME':
The file exists.
Ready
Output From command line:
