Problem with long path name?

[Punkin Head <pu...@gmail.com>]

I have a path name that is 140+ characters long it seems to be causing
a problem.

Here is the error:

svn: Your .svn/tmp directory may be missing or corrupt; run 'svn
cleanup' and try again
svn: Can't open file '{path}\.svn\tmp\text-base\{class}.js.svn-base':
The system cannot find the path specified.

Can anyone help with this?

We're using Continuum 1.0.3 with Maven 2.0.4 on WinXP.

Thanks,

AFAIK it's a limitation of Windows

No good. I've known too many Spaniards.

In Windows you can't have two files in the same directory with filenames
that only differ as to case. That's why you can't rename a file in Windows
and change the case of some letter.

Thanks for the replies.  The problem seems to have been with a
filename that was too long.  We had two of them that were exceeding 35
characters and after limiting them to under 30 it seems to have fixed
it.

Re: Problem with long path name?

There are 2 possibilities for this problem:

1- your path length is too long, the maximum under windows is between 250 and 260 characters
2- you have two files with the same name in your directory in svn but with different case.

I think you're in the second possibility.
