Getting error E205009 upon doing SVN copy using URL
Hi,
I'm writing about the below issue here after not getting any particular
response about the root cause of it on dev forum.
I'm trying to do a SVN copy, using URL, the contents from one directory to
another new directory within one repository with the following syntax:
svn copy <repo_root>/dir/subdir1 <repo_root>/dir/subdir2 -m "message text"
But I am getting the following error:
svn: E205009: Local, non-commit operations do not take a log message or
revision properties.
I couldn't understand the error message. It seems to be contradictory to
the functionality svn copy using url provides. The svn copy using url
apparently does a remote copy in the repository with a commit.
The interesting part is that if I omit the -m option, svn automatically
opens up the editor and waits for the log message. if I put the message
there and close the editor window, it completes the copy operation without
any error. It complains if the message text is supplied on the command line
with -m option.
Could you please shed some light on what the actual issue is? and what
would be the solution for this?
P.S: I'm using svn, version 1.8.10 (r1615264) on aix 7.1.
Thanks!
Ranajit

The error message can only happen if the second URL does not contain the substring "://".

I tried the same steps as Karl with an older client and it works for me
too. My version:
D:\temp\test_1>svn --version
svn, version 1.8.14 (r1692801)
compiled Aug 2 2015, 17:48:46 on x86-microsoft-windows
It is the TortoiseSVN command line tools, but I don't think that would
matter.
Kind regards,

Hmm, that should work, then. I did an experiment:
$ svn info | grep -E "^URL:"
URL: https://svn.example.com/my-repository/trunk/scratch
$ svn mkdir foo
A foo
$ svn ci -m "Create an empty directory for experimenting."
Adding foo
Committing transaction...
Committed revision 9851.
$ svn ls -v
https://svn.example.com/my-repository/trunk/scratch/foo
9851 kfogel Jun 09 13:32 ./
$ svn cp -m "Copy foo to bar." \
https://svn.example.com/my-repository/trunk/scratch/foo \
https://svn.example.com/my-repository/trunk/scratch/bar
Committing transaction...
Committed revision 9852.
$ svn ls -v
https://svn.red-bean.com/kfogel-private/trunk/scratch/bar
9852 kfogel Jun 09 13:33 ./
$
No problems. Well, okay, you had put your -m option at the end of
the command. So I tried that too, and it worked fine:
$ svn cp https://svn.example.com/my-repository/trunk/scratch/bar
\
https://svn.example.com/my-repository/trunk/scratch/baz
\
-m "Copy bar to baz."
Committing transaction...
Committed revision 9853.
$
$ svn ls -v
https://svn.example.com/my-repository/trunk/scratch/baz
9854 kfogel Jun 09 13:36 ./
$
The only thing I can think of is to upgrade Subversion (on client
side) and see what happens? I'm using 1.14:
$ svn --version
svn, version 1.14.1 (r1886195)
compiled Feb 18 2021, 02:52:03 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
$

Hi..the structure of the urls for both src and dst are as follow:
<Src>
https://svn.example.com/repos-aci/XXX/xxx50/branches/xxx_5.8.46.0/xxx/config/epc/9.4
<dst>
https://svn.example.com/repos-aci/XXX/xxx50/branches/xxx_5.8.46.0/xxx/config/epc/9.5

Can you show the actual URLs? Or at least, most of it but maybe
with the domain name replaced by "example.com" if you need
privacy? It would help to see the schema and structure of the
URLs you are using here.
