Merge Failing

Sorry if anyone gets this twice - I originally mailed to users at
subversion dot tigris dot org on the advice of somebody, but when I
actually went to the site it suggested this mailing list.

 

I am attempting to merge the project trunk into a branch but after
nearly 10 minutes it fails with the error message:

 

Runtime Error!

Program C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\TortoiseProc.exe

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual
way.

 

I have also had at times some errors about running out of memory and the
Task Manager backs this up as I can see the memory usage climbing and
the computer grinds to a crawl until the merge crashes.

 

I have now tried:

1.                      Merging using TortoiseSVN windows interface 

2.                      Merging via command line using both VisualSVN
and SilkSVN.  All fail with the same error - out of memory.  This would
indicate to me that there is a problem with svn itself.  

3.                      Merging a single revision to attempt to minimize
the number of changes but it still fails.

4.                      Merging a single folder containing less than 100
items - it worked!  Problem is that I have 150 or so folders and around
5,000 objects so I can't manually merge each one.

 

Thanks in advance

  Andrew

I tried version 1.6.12 and 1.6.13 but got the same thing.  Looking at Windows Task Manager I can see the Page File Usage gradually building until the crash occurs.

The command I am using is:
"C:\program files\sliksvn\bin\svn.exe" merge https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:000/svn/PowerBuilder/CusMod/trunk

Where do I find the crash dump/log file?

Just before yours, there was another report of a crash during merge
(with --reintegrate, but perhaps that's unrelated):
http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2011-01/0226.shtml.

That user reported that it worked with an older version of the client
(in his case, it worked with 1.6.12). Can you try with an older client
as well (try 1.6.13 perhaps, that's the release just before 1.6.15
(1.6.14 was never released)).

If that works, that could be a good workaround for you, and very
useful information for the developers as to where to look ...

Other useful information to help investigate the problem:
- The crash dump/log file.
- The exact commands you used when reproducing this from the command
line (feel free to obfuscate names/paths/files).

Thanks,

Solved!

It turned out to be the way I created the branch.  I had taken a copy of
the trunk folder in windows explorer and in the copy done a branch and
switch.  It was in this copy that that merge was failing.

I created a brand new folder and did a svn checkout on the branch.
Merge worked beautifully after that.

Thanks
  Andrew
