File not found: transaction 'ct', path 'trunk/Setup'

Hello,

Once in a while we're getting the following error when updating our local copy. Usually I can do the update again however it happened to us quite a few times that we've had to delete our local directory tree and check out again. What could be causing this? When it happens, what I can do to fix it? It seems to happen if I commit individual files instead of doing my commit on the trunk directory however I'm 100% sure about this.

svn: File not found: transaction 'ct', path 'trunk/Setup'

This "file not found: transaction 'xy' etc." really seems to spread ... 
posted something under the subject "Commit failed - working copy 
fatally wounded" (see below) recently, but obviously no one had 
any idea about ... As this goes for other things like strange conflict 
markings, recursive switch not recursing to subfolders, commit of 
all files in a working copy after switching because of eol-property 
set to native or conflicting newly added files definetely not in the 
repository (commit fails but resolve has no effect either!) are just 
added to my collection of oddities ...

[ Double-click this line for list subscription options ] 

Hi all out there!

SVN local: svn-win32-1.1-dev-9226;
SVN server: SVN 1.0.1;
TortoiseSVN 1.0.3, built against Subversion 1.0.1 (dev build);
Apache 2.0.48;
Win2000 SP2  

Using TSVN (thus local experimental version of SVN probably 
irrelevant for the case) I committed a subtree of my working copy 
via http://: 2 files added, 2 files modified, all HTML stuff.

I noticed that after actual transmit (TSVN: "sending content") there 
was a long delay while I expected the new revision being printed in 
the progress dialog.  Finally an error popped up.  Sorry, I did not 
notice what it said, but clicked it away.  It 'looked' like a 'cannot 
connect to server' though.  Now what happened further:

- clean up working copy (through TSVN);
- repeat commit with TSVN; commit fails for added file already is in 
repository;
- clean up working copy again;
- shut down Apache and run recover on repos; Apache restarted; 
shift to command line client;
- run update and get the error

C:\>svn up d:\internet\artbooks\artbooks
svn: REPORT request failed on '/svn/repos1/!svn/vcc/default'
svn: File not found: transaction 'c8', path 
'/trunk/internet/Artbooks/artbooks/28191_e.htm'

This is an old file, not even modified now.

Remembering a problem in February when update would not add 2 
new files to my working copy I went to the entries files and found 
the line 'incomplete="true"'.  My intention had been to add just this!

Removing this line allowed to run update with the result "At revision 
361".  But still cannot commit because the added files already are 
in the repository.  Doublechecked this by checking out another 
working copy which had both the two added files and the two 
modifications.  Also the post-commit hook had obviously started as 
there is an entry for start time in the log file it creates and an 
incremental dump file of zero length.  (post-commit.bat attached 
below for reference.)

Looking once more into entries I also removed the blocks of the 
two new files saying 'schedule="add"', added 'incomplete="true"' 
again, moved the two new files out of the working copy and run svn 
update again: same error as before.  Deleting the "incomplete" line 
again makes update a success, but without me getting back the 
new files from the repository.

Since this happened to the master repository used for uploading to 
the server I cannot just make a fresh checkout and go on.  The 
hoster does not allow rsync, so FTP upload depends on 
timestamps and would consider the new checkout as "all files 
changed since the timestamp is different" and upload everything 
anew.  A big NO-NO with 70-80MB over dial-up.  Besides this 
upload would change all timestamps to upload time and - as long 
as, from my point of view, SVN is too dump to update timestamps 
in the .svn area - render the working copy to a waiting copy on any 
update/commit as it would diff every file again and again.

Anything else I can do to save the working copy?

I also use TSVN, but the error happened on the commandline(, too).

Yes, the clients are TortoiseSVN, and I did note in my report last month it 
may have something to do with case issues on Windows.

I don't have as many users as you have to deal with and I still felt 
uncomfortable having introduced a problematic new tool.  It sounds like the 
Subversion guys will deal with the problem now.  I wish you the best of luck!

Aha!  This is a valuable recipe, thanks!

It seems that *everyone* reporting this bug is using win32, so I'm 
betting this almost certainly has to do with the working copy choking on 
case-insensitivity issues.  It gets confused about case, and then asks 
the repository about a file using incorrect case, and the repository 
replies with "file not found".

Can you file this as a bug, Ian?  It would be great to sic some svn 
developers on this recipe to narrow down the exact cause.

This repro doesn't really help at all. It's a simple case of pilot error
-- trying to modify a file that no longer exists in the repository. It's
not Win32-specific, either, the seme error happens on FreeBSD, and also
using file:// instead of svn://.

Thanks anyway. But I'm still looking for a reliable repro recipe for
issue 1862,

Here is ONE way to reproduce the error. However, I don't think this is THE
way, but it's one way and it triggers the same error message. Maybe it can
give you some clues...

Attached file repro.bat is an ms-dos batch assuming there is an empty
repository accessible at svn://localhost/test. Think of "wc-alpha" and
"wc-beta" as two different users on two different computers. 

Subversion was started with "svnserve -d -r G:\svnrepo" (with empty
repository at G:\svnrepo\test). All run on a Win XP SP1, NTFS.

I cannot reproduce this using either file:// or svn://, with the 1.0;2 
command-line client.

Not "freak out", just report that the file already exists. Removing the 
file and repeating the update fixes that.

Will everyone who's experiencing this problem /please/ try to give me a

exactly which sequence of events lead to the error in their case, 
including how you check out the working copy?

RE: File not found: transaction 'ct', path 'trunk/Setup'

Posted by Stefan Pettersson <st...@algonet.se>.
Today one of the users noted an interesting thing regarding this issue
(#1862) when it (yet again) roared its head...

It all started with a unexpected "cannot add file, already exist" when doing
an update. 

After that the "File not found: transaction 'XX', path 'Trunk/Tools/PS2'"
appeared everytime the user tried to do an update, EXCEPT when doing it at
the root of the working copy. After that all was fine.

I'm not sure if this is always the case, but maybe it may shed some light
for any of the svn-dev's?

A follow up question... The error message says:

 FILE not found: transaction 'XX', path 'Trunk/Tools/PS2'

Is there any way to know WHAT file was not found? Or does it say "file" even
if it is a directory?

And WHERE is the file expected to be? It is most definitely in the working
copy, is it in the repository, or or is it the .svn directory that is messed
up somehow?

Thanks in advance for any replies...

Does this mean "create a file" or "create and 'svn add' a file"? With 
the same name including case, or same name with different case?

Can you reproduce it with any other repository access method? file:// or 
http[s]://?

Everyone who's seen this problem, please provide the info in John 
Peacock's checklist:

1) Server O/S, patch level, and drive format (NTFS/FAT32)
2) Server Subversion release
3) Other services running on server (specifically AV software)
4) Mode of operation (Apache, ssh)
5) Client O/S, patch level, and drive format (NTFS/FAT32)
6) Client Subversion release
7) Client services running (specifically AV software)

and also

8) Is the working copy on a local drive or a network share
9) Repository access methor used (file://, svn:// or http[s]://)

I have found a way to reproduce this problem;

1. On machine A, create a new file and commit it.
2. On machine B, create a file with the same name in the same folder.
3. On machine B, perform an update on the folder with the file in it.
4. Get a "This file already exists" error.
5. From now on, all updates give the "File not found: transaction...."
message.

Clean up does not work. The only solution appears to be to rename or delete
the folder.

Note that I found this accidentally. It turns out that Microsoft Visual
Studio will create an empty .cpp for a file referred to in a .vcproj project
that does not exist. This in turns causes subversion to freak out, as
described above.

Note also that this is NOT the only cause of this error, it's just one that
I found I can reproduce.

Platforms: All winxp pro, running svnserve.

In my case, I've got 15 developers commiting several times per day. And even
if we've had no data-loss, the actual time lost when trying to overcome this
error  every time (easily 30-60 minutes with all clean

Put it this way, when this error occurs (File not found: transaction 'xx',

copy, or is it the server? It says "file not found", what file is it
referring to? Is it an actual version controlled file in the repository or
is it a temp file used by the client, etc?

Or starting by identifying if this is an issue related to only TortoiseSVN
(Karl, are you using Tortoise as well?) or if it is Subversion itself might
be the first thing to do (how?). Judging by the number of replies in the

I also reported this problem about a month ago (subject "REPORT Request 
failed") but did not receive any reply.  It was happening quite frequently, 
but there are fewer commits to our project right now and things have smoothed 
out.

While trying to find my previous post I noticed that searching the mailing 
list archive from the Subversion website does not work.  Searching for the 
author 'Karl' only brings up 6 results from last year by Karl Palsson .

RE: File not found: transaction 'ct', path 'trunk/Setup'

Posted by Stefan Pettersson <st...@algonet.se>.
I second this issue. I recently made a post about this issue in the
dev@tortoisesvn.tigris.org mailing-list, and quickly there was a couple of
replies of other people experiencing the same issue (all running Windows
both as client and on server. In my case we're running svnserve.exe
(Subversion 1.0.2) on WinXP Pro and connecting over svn://).
 
When this occurs to us, sometimes a seemingly "magic" set of a lot of clean
up's, updates and even deletion of a directory or two seem to help. However,
sometimes we have to revert back to make checkout again.
 
This problem is usually followed by a couple of "is locked" or "is not
locked" error messages before a clean up may successfully be executed.

This happens (too) often (like a few times per week per developer). In
regard to:

File not found: transaction 'xx', path 'Trunk/Codebase/Source/'

(Where xx is changing for every try and the path may be different depending
where the update is performed.)

What is the reason for this error message? What causes it or what might be
the symptom? Any suggested way of how to dig deeper or debug it?

As of now, it seems to happens somewhat random, although we haven't tried to
reproduce (next time it happens I'll try to make a copy of the problematic
working copy (>50000 files, >2 GB data).

Best regards,
Stefan Pettersson

Hello,
	 
Once in a while we're getting the following error when updating our local
copy. Usually I can do the update again however it happened to us quite a
few times that we've had to delete our local directory tree and check out
again. What could be causing this? When it happens, what I can do to fix it?
It seems to happen if I commit individual files instead of doing my commit
on the trunk directory however I'm 100% sure about this.
	 
svn: File not found: transaction 'ct', path 'trunk/Setup'
