error when checking out
I constantly get this error:
[exec] svn: Can't open file 'projects\nationals and
agencies\com.yelldirect.nationalsandagencies\war-resin\src\test\java\com\yelldirect
\nationalsandagencies\accounts\service\impl\.svn\tmp\text-base\MockFinancialDocumentServiceImpl.java.svn-base':
The system cannot find the p
ath specified.
It's a clean checkout, actually, i do 3 checkouts using ant at the
same time, but to different locations. Is it to do with the leght of
the directory? Other times that it happened I moved to the root
directory and then it solved. The directory Im checking into is 4
levels from the root, plus the subdirectories that are shown in the
error message.
Is it a known issue???
Client:

Although the message suggests a corrupt or missing file, the real
problem is a windows weakness, a length limit of 255 for relative
paths. As for absolute paths the limit is 32k the solution when doing
a "svn co" command is using the absolute path, like:
svn co http://thames/svn/yelldotcom/trunk/ C:\trunk
Other workaround is to checkout to a folder closer to the root.
In Tortoise it always use absolute paths so, no problem.
Still trying to find a solution when svn is run through ant, as I
wouldn't have the absolute path...
thanks

Hmm... That path seems to be 216 characters long. There is a 255-
character relative-path-length limit when using Subversion on
Windows. (Unfortunately the problem is deep within the Windows APIs
and cannot be worked around by the Subversion team, as I understand
it.) I'm not sure if 216 characters is close enough to the 255 limit
that this is the problem. If it is, then the only solution is using a
shorter path.
But another common reason for this error message would be if you have
two files in this directory whose names differ only in case, for
example MockFinancialDocumentServiceImpl.java and
MockFinancialDocumentserviceImpl.java. The Subversion repository (and
most Linux filesystems) happily see these as two distinct files, but
Windows' (and Mac OS X's) case-insensitive filesystem sees them as
one, and unfortunately the error message printed is not very helpful.
The solution in this case is to remove one file or the other from the
repository, which you can either do on a case-sensitive filesystem
like Linux's or directly with URLs in the repository (e.g. "svn rm
http://server/path/to/MockFinancialDocumentserviceImpl.java"). To
prevent this situation from happening again in the future, you can
install a pre-commit hook as described here:

Perhaps, you have an error because of the spaces in your path.
