So, I did something dumb in subversion and got a nice error message
telling me to tell you what I did so that in case someone else is as goofy
as I, the program won't crash next time. So here I am!
What I did was, on Windows 7 using Tortoise SVN, created some new files
and slated them for addition with 'svn add'. But then I never committed
them, and went off and did other things.
Later, on a different computer, I realized I hadn't actually committed
those files yet, and since I had a copy of them, I went ahead and added
them, then committed the change.
Later still, back on my Windows machine, I wanted to do an svn update.
But the little blue 'plus' from tortoise was looking at me, forlorn, and I
thought, "Self, I don't want my pending add to mess up my svn update! I
better delete those files first."
So I did.
And then I ran SVN update, and it failed horribly and I said to myself,
"oops." I've since tried to run 'cleanup' and things are still broken,
and I'm getting the following message, which is pretty similar (if not
exactly the same) as the one I got originally:
---------------------------
Subversion Exception!
---------------------------
Subversion encountered a serious problem.
Please take the time to report this on the Subversion mailing list
with as much information as possible about what
you were trying to do.
But please first search the mailing list archives for the error message
to avoid reporting the same problem repeatedly.
You can find the mailing list archives at
http://subversion.apache.org/mailing-lists.html
Subversion reported the following
(you can copy the content of this dialog
to the clipboard using Ctrl-C):
In file
'D:\Development\SVN\Releases\TortoiseSVN-1.7.1\ext\subversion\subversion\libsvn_wc\workqueue.c'
line 672: assertion failed (checksum != NULL)
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
If there's something I can do about this besides re-checking out this
directory, that'd be great, but if not, ah, well.
