Can Long File Names Crash SVN.exe?
I am having some problems with SVN.exe
My error message is coming from "svn up" against a working copy:
A Services\SMW
BizTalk\Smartworks.BizTalk.RxPad.GetLicenseProfile\WebService\Smartworks.BizTalk.RxPad.GetLicenseProfile\Web.config
svn: Your .svn/tmp directory may be missing or corrupt; run 'svn cleanup'
and try again
svn: Can't open file 'Services\SMW
BizTalk\Smartworks.BizTalk.RxPad.GetLicenseProfile\WebService\Smartworks.BizTalk.RxPad.GetLicenseProfile\
_svn\tmp\text-base\WebService_Smartworks_BizTalk_RxPad_GetLicenseProfile.asmx.svn-base':
The system cannot find the path specified.
I appears that the string "Services\SMW
BizTalk\Smartworks.BizTalk.RxPad.GetLicenseProfile\WebService\Smartworks.BizTalk.RxPad.GetLicenseProfile\Web.config"
is ok, but "Services\SMW
BizTalk\Smartworks.BizTalk.RxPad.GetLicenseProfile\WebService\Smartworks.BizTalk.RxPad.GetLicenseProfile\"
pushes it beyond the limit and it fails.
At first I thought perhaps I was exhausting the available path characters in
Windows, but the Microsoft FS documentation for the OS (see below for OS
information) as well as my tests creating the file that SVN.exe is
complaining on seem to point towards an SVN client defect. I am able to
create and read/write the file using a C# test application without error.

Ooh, thanks; I think I've run across this problem before, and had no
idea what to do about it.

Yeah, that's true. I've removed that statement and replaced it with what I
was actually trying to say (but was too lazy to type out before). Thanks
for the review.

Geez, you write prose well! Thanks.
And now a quibble:
You say
Because TortoiseSVN runs as a Windows GUI application, it doesn't
really have a concept of a "current working directory" like a
command-line program does.
I don't think that's true -- _all_ processes have a current working
directory -- and I also suspect it's irrelevant; I think all that
matters is that (for whatever reason) TortoiseSVN always deals in
absolute paths.

Michael,
This information was very helpful and corrects my problem using svn.exe at
the command line.
I also think that future users will appreciate the notes about T-SVN, which
was our previous solution (invoking T-SVN via the command line.)

FAQ added. Can you verify that it would have been helpful to you, Cory?
It may take a while for it show up on the live server, but when it does, it
will live at http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#long-paths.

No need to be embarrassed. The reason that it works is due to a somewhat
confusing (and certainly annoying) Windows API-ism.
I've had to answer this question too many times, though. I'll be adding a
FAQ entry for it today.

Michael,
That works perfectly. I am almost embarrassed I did not think of it :)

Cory, try running your update with an absolute path to the target. So,
instead of:
C> cd path\to\workingcopy
C> svn up
do:
C> svn up C:\path\to\workingcopy
And see if that helps.
