Johan Corveleyn commented on SVN-4868:
--------------------------------------

Thank you for filing this issue [~dcamarena]. I agree this would be a nice improvement if SVN could auto-fix this kind of working copy corruption.

To be clear: I don't currently have the time to work on this myself, sorry. Just confirming the validity of the request ...

For some more background: this was discussed / asked earlier on the tortoisesvn users list: https://groups.google.com/g/tortoisesvn/c/4r_zm4-DBdU?pli=1. I had participated in that discussion, saying that I would bring the issue to one of the SVN mailing lists, which I sadly forgot to do. So thanks, Daniel, for picking this up via StackOverflow, and filing it here.

> When the .svn\tmp folder is missing in the working copy any action (update, commit, etc.) fails with the message "Unable to create pristine install stream". 
> Obviously it's the users fault when corrupting the hidden, internal directory of SVN. In my case the folders of thousands of working copies were missing after disaster recovery. I discovered that my backup software didn't backup "tmp" folders. 
> I created a work around to create the tmp folder and posted it here: [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35962861/how-to-fix-unable-to-create-pristine-install-stream/65704644#65704644] 
> Anyway it would be nice if SVN would catch that exception and try to create the .svn\tmp folder.
