Thank you for your replies.
I tried specifying the current directory with ".", but received the same
result. Also, my reading of the subversion manual is that the current
directory is the default.
The FSFS bug link seems a lot like mine, except I don't have any
branches. I used only svn move, add, and remove of files and
directories, modified some files, and updated before commit. I am using
FSFS only.
But I still can't commit. How do I get out of this jam?
Thanks,
Craig.
