Re: Error report: wc_db.c line 10238: assertion failed (svn_dirent_is_absolute(local_abspath))

[Alessandro Garberi <al...@cla-it.eu>]

Hello,
I received this error using TortoiseSVN Project Monitor (latest TortoiseSVN
version 1.14.0) on Windows 7 64-bit fully updated.
I found a similar report, so I replied to it.

Probably this is the condition:
- using a VPN to connect to SVN repository
- Project Monitor dialog was open
- PC went to stand-by
- when I turned on the PC, the VPN was disconnected (by the stand-by)
- Project Monitor tried to update data
- error appeared
- if I click on the "Check Now" button, the same error appears again

---------------------------
Subversion Exception!
---------------------------
Subversion encountered a serious problem.
Please take the time to report this on the Subversion mailing list
with as much information as possible about what
you were trying to do.
But please first search the mailing list archives for the error message
to avoid reporting the same problem repeatedly.
You can find the mailing list archives at
https://subversion.apache.org/mailing-lists.html

Subversion reported the following
(you can copy the content of this dialog
to the clipboard using Ctrl-C):

Hi Alessandro,

Interesting, and great that you found a (probable) reproduction recipe.

I think you should report this to the TortoiseSVN project first (it is
a separate project, see [1] for their mailinglists). It is likely that
they are best placed to investigate and fix this problem (and if it's
a problem with the core libraries, they might be able to provide some
more technical information for the "core project" to look at).

Thanks,
