Svn cygwin issues
I am having a weird svn problem [ only on windows ]. When I run a fresh svn checkout of trunk, I got an error message like:
svn: Failed to add file 'emu/aux.js': object of the same name already exists
URL: svn+ssh://user@www.dom.com/svnroot/tfb/trunk/
This happens when I do an svn up also on an existing workarea. The problem is limited to my cygwin svn environment
$ svn -version
Svn, version 1.5.2 ( r32768 )
Any help will be appreciated.
Cheers
murli

No, files named "aux.*" are not allowed. A Cygwin managed mount causes
Cygwin to encode the file names in a way that works with Windows. The
downside is the real file names can only be seen through Cygwin and not
by regular Windows tools.

Are you saying that files named "aux.*" are permitted on Windows
under certain circumstances? What are they? I thought filenames
matching driver names were never allowed on Windows.

You might want to look into managed mounts for Cygwin 1.5.x. See
<http://cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.using.case-sensitive>.
Also, the next Cygwin release (1.7) should not have this problem. (No,
there is no expected release date.)
Problems with the Cygwin version of svn should be sent to cygwin AT
cygwin.com. I'm the maintainer of the Cygwin subversion port and I
monitor the Cygwin list more closely than users@.

Actually, it is not permitted to have a file named "aux" (with any
extension) on Windows.

Do you have two files in that directory differing only in case?
