Cleanup fails with

[Christoph Bartoschek <ba...@or.uni-bonn.de>]

Hi,

I cannot get a clean working directory.   My working copy was out of date and 
I wanted to make an update. Here is the result:

bartosch@certa:/fs/data/bartosch/tcl/tdl> svn update
D    netweight.tcl
D    load_tla.tcl
D    fast_tdl.tcl
svn: In directory '.'
svn: Error processing command 'delete-entry' in '.'
svn: Can't read directory 'parms/cu08/.svn/tmp': Unknown error 525

Now I have to cleanup the working copy, because it is locked. But I am not 
able to do this. I get the following messages:


bartosch@certa:/fs/data/bartosch/tcl/tdl> svn cleanup 
svn: In directory '.'
svn: Error processing command 'delete-entry' in '.'
svn: Working copy 'parms' is missing or not locked


What can I do to get a clean working copy without a new  checkout?

The error during a svn update is due to a bug in a NFS server. This server 
sometimes does not allow clients to rm directories recursively.  If you have:

/a/b 

A directory a with a file b inside. When you issue  rm -rf /a,  b gets deleted 
but a remains and one gets Unkown error 525.

IMO subversion does not have to be able to circumvent this error, but 
subversion should be able to  clean up the working copy when such an error 
occurs.

None has an idea about how to cleanup the directory?
