Re: Issue: Exception during revert

[Neels J Hofmeyr <ne...@elego.de>]

Hi Matthijs,

noting that no-one has replied yet, I would like to thank you for your
problem report. However, it is difficult to tell what exactly went wrong in
your specific case and how to fix it (there is a known issue about missing
checksums, but I'm not familiar with it, maybe someone else can comment).
Anyway, 'upgrade' seems to be a wee bit unreliable.

At the end of the day, I suggest that you try to make a clean checkout using
svn 1.7, so that you get a brand new working copy that pretty much
guarantees you a consistent state to work with.

If you have uncommitted modifications in your old/locked working copy, you
would need to transfer them to the new working copy. That *can* be simply a
matter of copying the files over (omitting '.svn' folders). If you had local
moves, adds, deletes or such, that would need some more work.

If it is a lot of work for you to get a fresh checkout, you can also try to
blast away the entire working copy subtree in which your error appears,
starting with at least the parent folder above the problem. A subsequent
'update' should bring those things back and maybe fixes things at the same
time. And again, make sure you don't blast away uncommitted changes.

Hope that this is helpful -- I'm basically just confirming that we care,
seeing that no-one else has replied yet.

Oh, BTW, your error appears to be coming from the Subversion API itself.
Nevertheless, this here is not the mailing list for TortoiseSVN, which is a
separate project from this, the "core" Subversion.

Thanks!
