.svn/tmp problems

[Birgir Kristmannsson <bk...@mekkanis.com>]

Hi there,

 

I just moved my sources to a new machine - all hidden/readonly files
were copied.

 

When I first try to do Update on the project, I get an error on:

 .svn/tmp/tempfile.tmp - The system cannot find the path specified

Which is certainly true, there is no such file. 

 

I saw some posts on the net that suggested doing Cleanup to fix this
problem, but when I try that, I get the same error, but on on
directories (.svn/tmp) instead of specific files.

If I delete the subproject that the error is reported on, I simply get
the error on some other (later) project.

 

I'm using TortoiseSVN - but don't think the problem has anything to do
with that (the error report says that the error comes from SubVersion)

 

Any ideas?

 

I was under the impression that simple copy of folder hierarchy was
enough to migrate SubVersion source trees between computers?

 

Best regards,

Biggi

Did you switch from one operating system to another?  What were they?

What method did you use to move the working copy?

It should be.

How big is your working copy?  Can you zip it up and post it if it's
not too large?
