Subversion Problem: Can't get exclusive lock on file
Very new to the version control process and Subversion and having a
recurring problem. I can find references to this problem in various
lists but no solution that I can wrap my head around.
Running two mac platforms - MacBook Plus (10.4.11) and iMac (10.4.11). I
have svn installed on both machines and can create and populate
repositories on either machine on local drive. When I mount the iMac
from the MacBook I can create a repository on the mounted drive:
svnadmin create /Volumes/Macintosh\
HD/Users/user/Development/svn/new_sams - Works
However, when I try to import into the repository I get an error.
svn import /Library/WebServer/Documents/temp/ file:///Volumes/Macintosh\
HD/Users/user/Development/svn/new_sams/ -m "install"
svn: Can't get exclusive lock on file '/Volumes/Macintosh
HD/Users/user/Development/svn/new_sams/db/transactions/0-1.txn/rev-lock':
Operation not supported

This is an issue with Berkeley DB. I don't think FSFS repositories
have this problem.

I believe the issue here is that the filesystem that the repo is on does not
support exclusive file locking. The solution here is to not use filesystems
that don't support exclusive file-locking. I don't know any of the details
of how the MAC <-> MAC network file sharing is implemented, but I think you
are out of luck using that file access method. Stick to local drives or
perhaps switch to NFS or something like that.
