Help: svn: Working copy 'XXXX/XXXX/XXX' locked
Hi everyone:
I have some problems in using svn commands. I think this is because I have
some file which have same names but in different cases(such as align.c and
Align.c).
I tried to delete one of the files, and got:
Hu-DimatoMacBook-Pro:reconstruction3d dhu$ svn delete
/Users/dhu/reconstruction3D/Align.c
svn: Working copy '/Users/dhu/reconstruction3D' locked
svn: run 'svn cleanup' to remove locks (type 'svn help cleanup' for details)
I typed "svn cleanup" and tried again. Then I got:
Hu-DimatoMacBook-Pro:reconstruction3d dhu$ svn delete
/Users/dhu/reconstruction3D/Align.c
svn: Use --force to override this restriction
svn: '/Users/dhu/reconstruction3D/Align.c' is not under version control
I also tried "mv" and "rm" , but both of them responded me "svn: 'Align.c'
is not under version control".
Can someone help me fix this problem? Thanks a lot!!
Di

Hi Ryan:
The problem has been sloved. I am profoundly grateful.

Read the error message. You did not supply a commit message via the -m argument, and you do not have the environment variables set up for Subversion to call an editor for you to enter the message there. Try:
svn mv svn://prometheus.ecn.purdue.edu/RAID2/Users/garciagroup/svnrepos/reconstruction3D/Align.c svn://prometheus.ecn.purdue.edu/RAID2/Users/garciagroup/svnrepos/reconstruction3D/align_new.c -m "Rename Align.c to align_new.c"

Hi Ryan:
I tired to rename one of the files via direct repository URLs. But still
failed. The checkout command is "svn checkout
svn://prometheus.ecn.purdue.edu/RAID2/Users/garciagroup/svnrepos/reconstruction3D".
So I think the URLs is
"svn://prometheus.ecn.purdue.edu/RAID2/Users/garciagroup/svnrepos/reconstruction3D/Align.c".
Am I right? Then I got this:
Hu-DimatoMacBook-Pro:reconstruction3d dhu$ svn mv
svn://prometheus.ecn.purdue.edu/RAID2/Users/garciagroup/svnrepos/reconstruction3D/Align.c
svn://prometheus.ecn.purdue.edu/RAID2/Users/garciagroup/svnrepos/reconstruction3D/align_new.c
svn: Could not use external editor to fetch log message; consider setting
the $SVN_EDITOR environment variable or using the --message (-m) or --file
(-F) options
svn: None of the environment variables SVN_EDITOR, VISUAL or EDITOR are set,
and no 'editor-cmd' run-time configuration option was found
Is just deleting both file easier? If it is, would you please tell me how to
do that? I can add the files again after deleting them. Thank you.

Ah, ok, that is a problem then. As you probably know, the Mac's default filesystem is case-insensitive, while Subversion repositories are case-sensitive. And your repository seems to think there are two files in it whose names differ only in case, which is of course a situation that then cannot be correctly represented on your Mac's filesystem.
Is it your intention to delete just one of these files (either Align.c or align.c), or both of them? I recommend you do whatever it is via direct repository URLs, not in a working copy.

Hi Bert,
I think I tried 'svn status' before. It didn't help me because I couldn't
understand what it showed. But I have sloved this problem by renaming one of
the files through urls. Thank you for your suggestion.

No, none of that appears to happen, at least not on my Mac. Take a look at this transcript of Subversion 1.6.12 on Mac OS X 10.6.4 x86_64 on a case-insensitive journaled Mac OS X Extended (HFS+) filesystem:
$ svnadmin create repo
$ svn co file://$(pwd)/repo wc
Checked out revision 0.
$ touch wc/file
$ svn add wc/FiLe
A wc/FiLe
$ svn ci -m "" wc
Adding wc/FiLe
Transmitting file data .
Committed revision 1.
$ svn co file://$(pwd)/repo wc2
A wc2/FiLe
Checked out revision 1.
$ ls wc/ wc2/
wc/:
file
wc2/:
FiLe
$ svn rm wc2/file
$ svn st wc2/
! wc2/FiLe
$

All 'svn' operations normalize the casing of passed filenames to their
on-disk casing on case insensitive systems. (I'm not 100% sure if this works
this way on Mac/OS, but it does on Windows
So if there is some 'aLIGN.c' on disk and you pass 'svn rm align.c', 'svn'
translates that to 'svn rm aLIGN.c' before it passes it into the library. So
the real handler of the delete never sees that you passed different paths.
(This is done in svn_client_args_to_target_array() ->
svn_opt__arg_canonicalize_path())
The workaround is to temporarily remove the on-disk file to something
completely different and then use the command.
But just calling 'svn status' should tell you if you have this issue. That
should show you two files: one unversioned and one missing/obstructed.

Hi Ryan:
Thanks for your suggestion. I did use "svn add align.c" sometime before. But
I don't know if subversion thinks Align.c is called align.c. I tried "svn
rm align.c", but nothing happend. And I could see both Align.c and align.c
after using "svn ls". I also tried to commit after "removing" them. But the
commit didn't work as well. No warning, just didn't work... Would you please
give me some more advice? Thanks again!

At the risk of repeating what you already know, it seems that Align.c is not under version control. Does Subversion perhaps think it's called align.c instead? It would if, for example, when you originally added it, you used "svn add align.c" instead of "svn add Align.c". If that's the case, then use "svn rm align.c" to remove it, if that's what you want to do.
