Re: Bug report: Assertion failed during update/cleanup

To clarify, these were my steps:

1. upgrade a 1.6 working copy to version 1.7 using Subversion 1.7.0
2. update the working copy using Subversion 1.7.0, error occured
(workqueue.c line 672: assertion failed (checksum != NULL) )
3. perform a cleanup on the working copy using Subversion 1.7.0, same
error occured
4. update Subversion 1.7.0 to 1.7.1
5. try the cleanup on the working copy again using Subversion 1.7.1,
same error occured

After that I made a fresh check-out using Subversion 1.7.1, now
everything works fine.

I suppose the 1.6 working copy was corrupted (because of a missing
text-base) but the working copy upgrade mechanism in Subversion 1.7.0
did not recognize it as an error. So I ended up with a corrupt 1.7
working copy, which led to the above mentioned error, which was not
resolved even after updating to Subversion 1.7.1.
I suppose if I had already done the working copy upgrade with Subversion
1.7.1 it had notified me that the 1.6 working copy was corrupt and
wouldn't let me upgrade it to 1.7 at all, but I can't easily confirm
that now because I don't have a backup of my old 1.6 working copy.

Best regards
Stefan
