File not found: transaction `2eb`.......

Environment
 
Subversion 1.0.6 on Debian Woody with unstable updates
TortoiseSVN 1.0.7
Windows XP
 
Error Message
 
REPORT request failed on '!svn/vcc/default'
File not found: transaction '2eb', path
'/Systems/project/Intranet/Source/trunk/Intranet.sln'
 
Problem Description
 
We often get error like this when we do operations other than update/commit.
Thinks like rename, delete and change folder properties can trigger a
condition that causes this error. In this particular cases, the following
conditions caused the error.
 
When we started, /Systems/project/Intranet/Source/trunk/Intranet.sln was in
a modified state and files in subfolders of
/Systems/project/Intranet/Source/trunk/ were in a modified state
Using TortoiseSVN we modified the externals property on the
/Systems/project/Intranet/Source/trunk folder
We then attempted to do a commit and received an error message indicating
that we need to update first
We did an update and got the error message above
We were able to selectively commit Intranet.sln and this succeeded but the
error still occurs when you do an update
Doing updates on subordinate folders produce similar error messages

I just tried a couple of different such scenarios using TortoiseSVN
and could not reproduce the problem.

We recently experienced #1862's behaviour here, using win32 and 
tortoise.  Similarly, it seemed to have been related to a parent dir 
rename in the repository, committed by someone else.  This is not any 
help with debugging, I know, except that looking in the 
"parent-dir-renamed" corner may be productive.

Hi,

I've recently experienced a similar behaviour with TortoiseSVN. It came
up after I moved (aka renamed) a folder to a different subdirectory and
then commited it's parent folder. The problem was probably that the new
location of the files wasn't below that parent folder, e.g.
WC
->B
-->C
--->D
->E
now move D below E:
WC
->B
-->C
->E
-->D
and commit on B. I'm not adding this to the bug because I'm not sure
whether this is a user error - I have to admit the actions don't really
make sense. However, after that a "cleanup" of my WC didn't help
anything, I always got that transaction error. I had to manually edit
the entries file and remove and entry for the "new" directory D.

I just noticed the 'filename length' thread in this list. Maybe...

What does that (absolution path) mean in this context ?

A colleague of mine has been bitten by this as well yesterday, using 
TSVN 1.0.8. Our server is running 0.32.1 (sic) on a linux box and is 
accessed via https.

Everybody else has no problem checking out the repository. He has a 
locally modified wc and was updating changes from someone else. The 
'file not found' message is only given for his locally modified files. 
Reverting the local changes to a file makes the message go away for this 
file, but 'TortoiseSVN update' will fail on the next locally modified file.

People on this list already mentioned that the problem only occurs when 
using absolute paths.
Since the error occured deep down inside the project, I was thinking if 
it might be possible to hit a system constant (path length, filename 
length) on the client side.
Our apache access log reveals that the files in question indeed have a 
long path (>220 characters). Is this a possible theory?

I've been trying as well. I've held on this long before raising it because I
couldn't figure out the recipe. Each time I think I found it then I test it
in my sandbox and no luck.

Developers are tearing out their hair, because 90% of the people who hit
this bug are either unable to come up with a reproduction recipe, or are
too busy to try.   And they're all win32 users.

It looks like we got really close to figuring it out last week, but even
the last reproduction recipe in the issue isn't always working.

Yes, we're well aware.  Rubbing salt in the wound.  :-)

Try using a normal svn commandline client, and just running 'svn up' at
the top of your working copy.  That might fix things.

So what is being done about this issue?

In my mind this is probably the biggest issue that subversion has. Although
there is no loss of data, the problem is quite ugly and it leaves a bad
feeling about the product. I'm sure others may have different opinions on
the impact of this problem, but this is my 2 cents worth.

What can I do about it when I get the problem. To date the only solution has
been to delete the working folder and do a fresh checkout. Some of my
projects are over 100mb and over a 56k modem this takes some time.
