This morning I ran into a very weird problem with subversion. I am mostly
posting this in case anyone is interested in looking into this. I have tried
to provide the relevant information below. I would not even bother but this
is a situation were subversion is changing stuff and not saying anything. I
am extremely busy at this point but will try to provide more info if anyone
is interested.
I use subversion at work to track my own work (I am the only user.) I have a
working copy on my work machine and my laptop. This morning when I came in I
tried to check in the work from my laptop and got the following error:
...
Sending src\mw\src\mwin\makefile
Sending src\mw\src\mwin\winlib\makefile
Transmitting file data .svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: Can't open file 'C:\dev\src\dx_newdisp\src\mw\src\mwin\winlib\.svn\text
-base\makefile.svn-base': The system cannot find the file specified.
(The ... represent other files that were committed but not part of the
problem.)
I am pretty sure that this has something to do with windows and mixed case.
The original makefile had an uppercase M and when I replaced it with my
version the m when lower case. This is NOT the disturbing part.
I removed the offending file from the list of files (there were actually 2)
from the commit list and the commit appeared to complete normally (all the
files represented by the ... committed successfully.)
Here is the disturbing part. When I updated the working copy on my desktop I
got the following:
>svn update
U src\mw\makefile.mw
U src\mw\src\include\device.h
U src\mw\src\drivers\scr_headunit.c
U src\mw\src\engine\makefile.w32
U src\mw\src\engine\makefile
U src\mw\src\mwin\winlib\makefile.w32
U src\mw\src\mwin\makefile.w32
U src\mw\mw.org.todo
U src\mw\include\device.h
Updated to revision 1144.
Note that the problem files do *NOT* show up in the list of updated files. I
mostly use TSVN and if I select that revision it shows that exactly those
files were updated in the commit. *HOWEVER*, src\mw\src\mwin\makefile and
src\mw\src\mwin\winlib\makefile *WERE* updated in my working copy. And if I
do a diff using TSVN of the new revision and the previous revision it does
show that both of the files changed.
Note that I ran the unsuccessful commit several times before I removed both
to the problem files and only 1 commit shows up in the svn log.
