G'day Joerg,
I didn't think to try that, although I did take a quick look at the
files in the db/revprops directory and there was only a single file in
there called "0". That suggests to me that the checked in repository
(assuming it was functional!) was empty.
Another thing to note:
The sets of developers who access these two repositories are
completely different (one repository is for the client I'm working
with, while the other is for the company I work for), which suggests
one of two things:
1. it's not a developer issue
or
2. I'm the one causing the problem! ;-)
That being said, I'm going to try Ben's suggestion and see if I can
track down when this change occurred and who made it. I doubt it's an
automated script problem, since only one of the two repositories where
we've seen this occur has any automated scripts running.
Perhaps in one case it was developer-error and the other script-error?
Cheers,
Peter
