Hello,
I have previously posted this message to dev@subversion, but did not
receive any response, so I am trying my luck on this list. Maybe
someone has experienced this problem before and is aware of a
work-around.
I am currently experiencing a problem with my subversion installation
[1], which already occurred [2] with recursive property changes in the
past: Files suddenly become directories when they are committed to the
repository after a merge.
Unfortunately, I am unable to create a simple test case to reproduce
the problem, so I am not sure which conditions cause it to appear. The
only thing I currently know is that it seems to be related to the
addition of files and directories to the trunk which previously only
existed in the branch.
The meta-data on the client seems to be intact after the commit, only
a new checkout or list reveals the data corruption on the server,
which suddenly contains additional directories.
An example:
The following correct directory/file layout is displayed during the
commit of the merge:

Each erratic sub-directory now contains a copy of the complete
directory sub-tree.
Any ideas?
