Corrupt repository, or just incorrect usage.
I think I may have corrupted my repository, and would like to get it
fixed. Here is the situation.
I wanted to make a branch. My project files were all in the root of the
repository, so I made a directory called main (svn mkdir), and then did
a svn mv on all of the files into the directory.
I then noticed that my directories were still outside of the main
directory. I looked in them and saw that they were empty. So I did an
svn rm on one of the directories (src). It didn't seem to remove it so I
ignored it.
Then I did an svn commit and it seemed to do the commit but I got this
error at the end:
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: Out of date: '/main/src' in transaction 'j'
svn: Your commit message was left in a temporary file:
svn: '/home/jlm/code/gtkbonus/svn-commit.tmp'
Now, if I check out a new working copy of the repository, all of the
files are in /main. However the log does not show my comment for that
revision. The last comment is for the previous revision where I added
one file.
Also, svn log shows all actions from all versions being relative to
/main, even though that should have been version 19. On top of that, I
did an svnadmin dump -r 0:17, and when I loaded that into a new
repository, it still said /main at the beginning of all files.
So, am I SOL? It seems the best I can do is grab what I think are all of
my files, delete and recreate the repository and load them in again,
loosing history.
I'm running svn 0.37 on Gentoo Linux with kernel version 2.4.23. I am
just doing local file:/// stuff and nothing with apache and all that.
Thanks.

Ok, that might explain the svn commit failure shown below, however I
still feel that the repository is not quite right.
Only yesterday did I move all of these files into /main. I have been
running svn for a while, and had gotten up to version 17 or 18. Now, if
I checkout a working copy of the repository at version 2, I should not
see /main, correct? So, for example:
~/code/gtkbonus_temp 26> svn checkout -r 2 \
file:///usr/subversion/gtkbonus .
A main
A main/test
A main/test/angles3d_test.cpp
A main/test/scrollbar_test.cpp
A main/test/trough_test.cpp
A main/test/gradient_test_old.cpp
A main/test/gradient_dialog_test.cpp
A main/test/gradient_test.cpp
A main/test/color_dialog_test.cpp
A main/test/palette_test.cpp
.
.
.
ls
main/
I know that I didn't have any directory called main in version 2,
however there it is.
Just to check I did svn update -r 2 and I still see main, with all
(supposedly) of my files therein. I expect to see all of my files right
there, at the root of the repository, because I didn't add the main
directory until revision 19.
Thanks again.

Hi!
Well, I think you may not be in a state as serious as you think. From what
you describe, I think you suffer from what is described in the Subversion Book
section "Limitations of mixed revisions"
(http://svnbook.red-bean.com/book/book.html#svn-ch-2-sect-3.4): you cannot commit directory structure changes to
directories which are not the HEAD revision.
HTH,
Erik.
