Re: Cannot commit files that I've renamed.

I also tried to commit the renamed files from Windows Exploder/TortoiseSVN
-- *SAME* *PROBLEM*.

I had Tortoise/Renamed the two files. There is *some* problem here. A
point I forgot to mention is that we upgraded Subversion & ToitoiseSVN
clients about 10 days ago. This is the first renaming of files that I've
done since then. Versions now are:
Subversion command-line client, version 1.2.3.

TortoiseSVN 1.2.6, Build 4786 - 32 Bit
Subversion 1.2.3,
apr 0.9.6
apr-iconv 0.9.5
apr-utils 0.9.6
berkeley db 4.3.28
neon 0.24.7
OpenSSL 0.9.8a 11 Oct 2005
zlib 1.2.3

If you don't want to believe me, fine, but I experienced the reality of
the situation here.

I've been using these cygwin/bash/scripts (see below) FOR NEARLY A YEAR.
Everything *perfect* till now.

Also, I've renamed a handful of the several hundred files over the last
year or so: all OK.

I *WORKED* *AROUND* by the method already described:
>> "I could only fix this by 'Tortoise Revert' on these two files, then
>> 'Tortoise Deleting' them, and 'Tortoise Add'ing them(the new ones)."

To repeat: The ToitoiseSVN Rename and *TortoiseSVN* commit should have
worked. Neither did.

The scripts I use are shown below. Note the use of 'cd':
./svn_update.sh:
--------------------------------
#!/bin/bash -x

# 20051121 agl Added xad.
# 20050701 AGL Original version.

              svn update
cd libs_all ; svn update
cd ../ac1 ; svn update
cd ../ac2 ; svn update
cd ../ac3 ; svn update
cd ../xad ; svn update
cd ../bios ; svn update
cd ../srt ; svn update
--------------------------------
./svn_commit.sh:
--------------------------------
#!/bin/bash

# 20051121 agl Added xad.
# 20050707 AGL Added --force-log option, since svn_commit.txt is now a
versioned file.
# 20050706 AGL Moved message from here to file svn_commit.txt.
# 20050701 AGL Original version.

if [ -f svn_commit.txt ] ; then

echo cat svn_commit.txt
     cat svn_commit.txt

              svn commit --force-log -F svn_commit.txt
cd libs_all ; svn commit --force-log -F ../svn_commit.txt
cd ../ac1 ; svn commit --force-log -F ../svn_commit.txt
cd ../ac2 ; svn commit --force-log -F ../svn_commit.txt
cd ../ac3 ; svn commit --force-log -F ../svn_commit.txt
cd ../xad ; svn commit --force-log -F ../svn_commit.txt
cd ../bios ; svn commit --force-log -F ../svn_commit.txt
cd ../srt ; svn commit --force-log -F ../svn_commit.txt

else

echo File svn_commit.txt, containing the commit message, must exist for
this command to work.

I believe the problem is because you are using cygwin.  Cygwin is a 
nasty hack and causes problems like the one you are seeing, so if you 
want to use tortoise you should get a mingw svn command line build, not 
cygwin.  It looks like the problem is that tortoise is using windows 
style path names, and cygwin uses unix style path names.  Instead of 
doing the rename with tortoise, try doing it from the command line and 
see if you can commit.
