I am having constant problems with 'svn switch' failing.
I have a working copy called src/incl which contains roughly 300
directories and
3600 files. I originally used 'svn co' to populate this tree from a branch
copied from the trunk.
Today, in a different working copy checked out from the trunk, I added
one file and changed four others, all in the same directory. After
committing
those files into the trunk, I created a branch. I then wanted to update my
src/incl so I used
cd src/incl
svn switch <new branch>/src/incl
After 5 minutes, my working copy is updated but the svn command reports
an error:
svn: REPORT request failed on '/repos/!svn/vcc/default'
svn: REPORT of '/repos/!svn/vcc/default': Could not read response body:
connection was closed by server. (http://svn1)
which causes my script to fail.
This is not a one-time problem. Several 'svn switch' commands have failed in
a similar fashion and the only work-around seems to be recreating src/incl
with 'svn co'; this, or course, resets all my file times which means
everything
including these files must be rebuilt, which is why I want to use svn
switch.
Some questions:
1. is this the right way to update my working copy
2. what causes the errors printed above. My repository is on a linux box
running svn1.0.3 and my commands and working copy are on a Solaris box
running svn1.0.1
3. when I execute the 'svn switch', top reports that my Solaris box is
roughly 97% iowaiting while the linux box is idle. Does that mean
anything?
Is it related?
Thanks
