Hi Corey,

Some users on this list might have experience with SmartSVN, but most
of us don't. The lingua franca around here is "command line usage of
the native client" (i.e. a binary that's been built from officially
released sources by the Apache Subversion project).

Now, I have some vague recollection that SmartSVN7 still used SVNKit
inside (which is a pure Java re-implementation of svn, not supported
by the Apache Subversion project, having its own mailinglist etc). And
SmartSVN9 probably uses a native svn client (svnkit has not made a 1.9
release yet). There might be some leftover working copy corruption,
created by the SVNKit client, causing trouble for your new (native)
client.

The first thing to try is to run 'svn cleanup' on your working copy.
That might repair some subtle issues in your working copy metadata.
After that, run 'svn status' and see if that completes normally (and
doesn't take ages). Then try to commit again.

HTH
