svn: Ran out of unique names
what is the cause of this message? how do I get rid of it? I'm getting
it from apache-spawned svn process when trying to get a diff. it works
just fine if I request the same diff in the shell.
svn: Ran out of unique names
svn: svn_io_open_unique_file: unable to make name for 'tmp'
hmm, looks like just about any `svn diff` run from apache causes this
error.

Thanks for pointing that out. Fix in r7427.

Yes, that would be better. I will aim to do that some time soon.

No. The server doesn't do the diff, the client does that. So, locally
you get two temp files that are compared against one another.

That was it. I got confused by the fact that it worked the day
before. I probably made some permission changes without testing them
properly. But why does it create a local tempfile if I request a
diff between two revisions of a remote url? I guess the diff
received from the server is stuffed away in the tempfile before
getting displayed, right?

I know what the error means. Sorry to ask such badly worded
questions. I investigated the source (BTW, there's a typo in the
doxygen comment, it says at one point that the second-attempt file
will have "1" tacked onto the end, but it's "2"). I just didn't know
what exactly is causing it to be called at all.
It would be a lot better if the message contained full path to the
file.

Is it possible that your apache process doesn't have write access
to the working dir in which the diff was executed?
That error message means "tried to create tmp.1, tmp.2, tmp.3, ...
tmp.999999, and couldn't create any of them".
Another possibility is that something has been leaving those temp
files behind, but I suspect that if you had one million leaked inodes
you'd know about it. :-)

Don't know -- haven't seen this one before. We're going to need a lot
of detail to debug it; see the file BUGS in the top level of the
Subversion tree for guidelines.
