Build management system and Subversion doesn't work (mostly)
Hi,
I'm trying to setup the automatic build management system Anthill to
work with Subversion and I'm afraid its almost unusable owing to the
very high frequency of svn Access Denied errors. Sometimes it works -
mostly it doesn't. I've used Anthill in the past with CVS and had no
such problem. The FAQ response below is basically very unsatisfactory.
Suggestions for workarounds most welcome.
Regards,
Neil Finlayson
svn: Can't move ... .svn\tmp\entries Access denied
From FAQ
I'm getting occasional "Access Denied" errors on Windows. They seem to
happen at random. Why?
These appear to be due to the various Windows services that monitor the
filesystem for changes (anti-virus software, indexing services, the COM+
Event Notification Service). This is not really a bug in Subversion,
which makes it difficult for us to fix. A summary of the current state
of the investigation is available here. A workaround that should reduce
the incidence rate for most people was implemented in revision 7598; if
you have an earlier version, please update to the latest release.

Thanks people. I've concluded that the problem is to do with conflicts
with anti-virus, as the FAQ indicates (Windows indexing service also
problematic apparently).

I've actually seen it recently with a Windows file ownership confusion, when
two distinct windows domains had the same usernames in them and the move of
members from one domain to the other was *not* done by actually removing
them from the other domains, but simply duplicating them in the new domain.
Files kept becoming "read-only", apparently as the Windows clients kept
becoming confused about which username to use,, and file ownership became
quite odd. Hilarity then ensued. The fix was to log in as the local
Administrator and *delete* all the domain username based ownership of the
subversion directories, then reset the primary ownership to be the username
from the correct domain. Doing this for the user's home accounts and
whatever shared workspace they had seemed to clear the problem, although
there were other things I was doing at the time so this may not be quite
complete.

I don't personally know how Anthill works, but I must say that I have
never seen "Access denied" error with Subvresion, and I use it for over a
year. So maybe you can describe what you are trying to do, and might have
some sort of suggestion for you.
