AW: Subversion exception! (common_util.c line 211)

Hello list,

today the same exception occurred with TortoiseSVN version 1.8.5

Here the complete version information:
* TortoiseSVN 1.8.5, Build 25224 - 64 Bit , 2014/02/18 20:05:11
* Subversion 1.8.8, -release
* apr 1.5.0
* apr-util 1.5.3
* serf 1.3.4
* OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014
* zlib 1.2.8

Perhaps the situation was more complicated, with many moves and renames, maybe even the same element moved/renamed twice. Cleanup and update didn't help.

My workaround was doing several commits, each one committing only a part of the changes.

I presume it is difficult to reproduce the situation. If it happens, that I can reproduce it, I'd try to add a "HOWTO REPEAT" to this mail thread.

Thanks Reinhard

Hello list,

I'm not subscribed in the list, but like to be cc:ed in any responses to this mail.

Today I've got the following subversion exception:

Subversion Exception!
Subversion encountered a serious problem.
Please take the time to report this on the Subversion mailing list

Access to repository via svn protocol

What I've tried:

- Do a commit

- Then a warning popped up (which was not surprised due to what I wanted to commit):

Non-recursive commit of moved/renamed folders.

This commit is not recursive, and there are moved/renamed/copied folders selected for commit. Such moves/renames are always performed recursively in the repository. Do you want to commit anyway?

            I've selected:

                        Proceed with the commit

                        The renamed/moved folders are committed recursively in the repository.

- After that, the a.m. exception occurred

Then I tried again after a cleanup --> the same behaviour as described above

Then I tried again after a cleanup & update --> committed successfully

Thanks Reinhard
