Cannot create repository

[Roy Manzi <ro...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

I'm using Subversion in Xcode 3.2 on a Mac OS X 10.6, I created a repository in 
/Users/Shared/Subversion/Linear called Linear using (my home directory is 
/Users/admin)

svnadmin create

then used a "harmless" command to create the .subversion config directory which 
I edited so as to treat the xcode project file as text.

Next, I tried to create another repository in /Users/Shared/Subversion/VisionDB 
and I'm now unable to do so, I get the message

"svn: /Users/admin/.subversion/config:94: Option expected

and no repository is created. I also can no longer find the .subversion 
directory. I've tried running a "harmless" command (e.g svn status) but no 
config is created.

Please kindly advise on how I can create a new (second) repository. Thanks for 
your help

You have apparently done something wrong in your config file on line 94. The config file is of course located at the path printed in the error: /Users/admin/.subversion/config. The Finder does not show hidden directories (those whose names begin with a ".") so you will have to use the Terminal to access the file, for example to have the Terminal tell the Finder to open this hidden directory, you could type "open ~/.subversion". Or you could use the Finder's Go menu, select Go To Folder, and type in "~/.subversion". Or you could install TinkerTool and use it to configure the Finder to show hidden items.
