Re: Cannot commit - "a previous representation is currently being written by another process"

Hi all,

Further to my post below, I've tried dumping and reloading the whole
repository and it doesn't make any difference. I've tried checking out a
new working copy but that also doesn't help.

It *IS* possible to commit alterations to existing files, but it seems
the commit always fails if you try and add any new files:

"Error: Cannot write to the prototype revision file of transaction
'220-1' because a previous representation is currently being written by
this process"

I don't understand how this problem can persist with a new repository
and a new working copy.

Can anybody suggest any fixes for this problem?
