import and commit fail with svn_error: #21106
Hi all,
I am new to this list and also to svn. I am trying to use svn for a project
where I cannot use CVS, but I have some problems. (I know that this is still
pre-alpha status, so if you think that it is just too early to use svn, just
tell me so, and I won't bother you again)
I have created a repository on the server, and could also do a "local"
import (using the file:/// protocol). Checkout of a wc from this repository
also works. What does not work is import or commit from the working copy
using the http and https protocols. I am using win2000, with downloaded
binary r1868. Here is a sample conversation:
<code>
C:\home\tmp\svn\wc>svn import http://192.168.222.200/svn/repos . testdir -m
"test import"
svn_error: #21106 : <A path under revision control is needed for this
operation>
The specified activity does not exist.
C:\home\tmp\svn\wc>svn status
A ./foo.bar
C:\home\tmp\svn\wc>svn commit -m "test memo 001"
svn_error: #21106 : <A path under revision control is needed for this
operation>
Commit failed (details follow):
svn_error: #21106 : <A path under revision control is needed for this
operation>
The specified activity does not exist.
C:\home\tmp\svn\wc>
</code>
Note: if I use https instead of http, the import command just hangs.
Can anyone help me?
TIA,
Memo

I should have looked at the code before responding. The required
changes were added in rev 1893. You are using rev 1868 I believe,
that's too old.

I guess Philip is right, it's the read-only attribute. The same problem also
occurs when I delete directly from the repository (with the url instead of
target option) and try to update the local copy later. Using the --force
option of the delete command also doesn't help. As far as I can see, there
doesn't seem to be a simple workaround (the non-simple workaround being the
manual deletion in the working copy :-).
I will have to wait for you guys to implement a fix for this one.
Thanks anyway,

I guess this is because the files under lib/.svn/ are read-only. The
directory is deleted by calling apr_dir_remove() on lib/. It appears
that somewhere we have to reset the read-only status.
We could put a recursive descent into svn_io_remove_dir to call
svn_io_set_file_read_write on all it's files. That would match the
behaviour of svn_io_remove_file. I'm not sure whether this code
really belongs in Subversion or whether it should be in APR, from my
Unix background I expect apr_remove_file/apr_remove_dir to just work.

Looks like del won't delete read-only files either.

Thanks, Greg, that helped, most remote stuff is working now. However, I came
accross another peculiarity while trying to delete a whole directory: it
seems that the .svn directory is not removed with the rest, thus giving
problems while committing:

As this problem seems to be happening locally, on a win2000 system, I am not
sure what permissions are being talked about here. Funny thing I noticed
playing around: I also get access denials on some files when I try to delete
them in the DOS-Box:
<session-transcript>
C:\home\tmp\svn\project2>del lib /s /q
C:\home\tmp\svn\project2\lib\.svn\dir-wcprops
Access is denied.
C:\home\tmp\svn\project2\lib\.svn\entries
Access is denied.
C:\home\tmp\svn\project2\lib\.svn\format
Access is denied.
C:\home\tmp\svn\project2\lib\.svn\README
Access is denied.
C:\home\tmp\svn\project2\lib\.svn\auth\password
Access is denied.
C:\home\tmp\svn\project2\lib\.svn\auth\username
Access is denied.
</session-transcript>
I can delete the directory without problems in the windows explorer though.
Anybody understand what's going on here?
Also, in the repository, everything is OK, so that when I checkout a new
working copy, the deleted directory is no more there.
Many thanks,
Memo

This is symptomatic of the httpd server not being able to *write* to the
repository area. Please verify the permissions of the files and directories
in your repository directories. All files/dirs should be read/write for the
user/group of the httpd server.
In this particular case, we are trying to create an "activity" on the
server, but that is failing because it can't write to the activity database.
Later, when we refer to the activity, it isn't there.
In summary, there are two problems:
1) your file permissions are wrong
2) SVN has a bug in that it doesn't properly return an error when the
permissions are wrong
The reason that it worked locally is that "activities" are a concept only
used by the network. Not to mention that a different user/group is accessing
the repository.
Cheers,
-g

Branko made the Win32 binary... maybe he's back from his trip, and can
